Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 10-inch cake pans. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
- Beat the shortening and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the mixture before adding the next. Beat in the food coloring, 1 teaspoon blueberry extract, and apple cider vinegar with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Beat the butter with the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in 1 teaspoon of blueberry extract, then whip until light and fluffy. Once cake has cooled, spread with icing, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

BLUE SUEDE CAKE
This is a beautiful Elvis named cake. I adapted the recipe from James McNair's Cakes. It has a wonderful spiced flavor, and is best topped with cream cheese icing. You will get oohs and ahhs when you cut into this surprisingly pretty, cake, and you just may have to tell people to "Lay Off" your Blue Suede Cake!

Steps:
- Position racks in oven so cake will bake in the middle of the oven.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, set aside.
- Place flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a sifter.
- Sift into a bowl and repeat two more times.
- Whisk well to combine all dry ingredients and set aside.
- In a separate bowl mix butter at medium speed until soft and creamy (about 60 seconds).
- With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar, pausing to scrape down sides.
- Continue beating at medium speed until the mixture is very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly drizzle in the eggs and beat well, stopping to scrape down the sides.
- Add the vanilla and food coloring and blend well.
- You may wish to add a little red to give a more blueish versus green tone to your cake, depending on your brand of food color.
- Gel food color will not dilute your batter, but liquid food color will work fine too.
- Using the mixer on low speed, fold in about one-third of the flour mixture, then half of the the buttermilk, scraping down the sides of the bowl and folding just until the ingredients are incorporated.
- In the same manner, fold in half of the remaining flour mixture, then the remaining buttermilk, and finally the remaining flour mixture.
- Divide batter evenly between the two pans.
- Smooth surfaces with rubber spatula.
- Bake until each cake layer springs back when lightly touched in the center with your fingertip and a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted (about 25-30 minutes).

ROYAL BLUE VELVET CAKE
This fun twist on the classic Red Velvet Cake takes on a new, blue hue in this Royal Blue Velvet Cake recipe. By combining three tiers of fluffy royal blue cake and sweet marshmallow creme icing, this blue velvet cake recipe is impressive and delicious. When looking to achieve the royal blue coloring, remember to use paste food color rather than liquid or gel food color. Working with liquid or gel food color will cause the color of your Royal Blue Velvet Cake to vary. This cake is certainly baked in history as the recipe was inspired by the royal heirloom sapphire engagement ring.

Tips:
- To achieve the vibrant blue color of the cake, use a high-quality blue food coloring gel. Liquid food coloring may not provide the same intensity of color.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a moist and fluffy cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking. If the oven is not preheated, the cake may not rise properly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
