Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric hand mixer
- Round Cake Pans
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2.5 Cups All-purpose Flour
- 1.5 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 Cup Buttermilk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1.5 Cups Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tsp White Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Red Food Coloring
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 16 Oz Cream Cheese
- 0.5 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 4 Cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your cake pans with butter. Add a little flour to the pans. This stops the cake from sticking.
- Whisk the flour and sugar together. Add the cocoa powder and soda. Mix these dry ingredients very well. Set the large bowl aside now.
- Mix the buttermilk and oil together. Add the eggs and red color. Stir until the liquid is dark red. Add the vanilla extract to this.
- Pour the wet mix into dry. Stir slowly with your whisk. Do not overmix the batter. Stop when the flour is gone.
- Divide batter into the two pans. Tap them on the counter once. This removes any large air bubbles. Bake for thirty minutes total.
- Check the cake with a toothpick. It should come out very clean. Let the cakes cool in pans. Then move them to a rack.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter. Add powdered sugar slowly now. Mix until the frosting is white. It should look very fluffy.
- Place one cake on a plate. Spread a thick layer of frosting. Put the second cake on top. Cover the whole cake with frosting.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
- Do not open the oven too early.
- Measure the flour with a kitchen scale.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
- Use gel food color for deep red.
