Congratulations to Molly!!! She graduated from Michigan State this past weekend and the whole family was there to celebrate. I made festive green and white cake balls for the graduate. Check back later this week for another treat that I brought to Michigan State.
You can see how to make cake balls in my previous post. Keep reading to see the recipe for the "green" velvet cake I used.
Red Velvet Cake
Source: Bakerella
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 oz. red (or green) food coloring
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans.
Lightly stir eggs in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Add remaining liquid ingredients and stir together with whisk until blended. Set aside.
Place all the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl and stir together really good with another wire whisk.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or until completely combined.
Pour into cake pans and then drop the pans on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
After about ten minutes, remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack. I also cover in plastic wrap while the cakes cool.

If you add a little black food coloring to the frosting or glaze and you can make scarlet and gray buckeye cake balls.
