Purple Velvet Mirror Glaze Cake Recipe
About This Recipe
Purple velvet mirror glaze cake takes a timeless classic recipe but presents it in a more advanced way. Instead of classic red velvet layers the cake will sport deep violet layers. Instead of the regular cream cheese frosting, the mirror glaze will provide the cake a silky finish that will reflect light like a liquid glass. The cake is soft and tender with a light and mild cocoa flavor and a subtle tang from buttermilk. Contrary to cream cheese frosting, the mirror glaze will provide a nice combination of sweetness and acidity that will help keep it from being too one-dimensional.
The contrast is what really takes this cake to the next level: the combination of the silky finish and the deep violet layers will provide a great combination. This cake is perfect for birthdays, with its simple design it really provides an amazing decoration.
