Servings: persons

2 1/4 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs at room temperature
2 tablespoons blue food coloring
1 teaspoon blueberry extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon blueberry extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
