Ingredients
Scale
2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of red food coloring
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and food coloring. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until no flour streaks remain.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, prepare your frosting by beating 8 oz of cream cheese, ½ cup of butter, and 4 cups of powdered sugar until creamy. Add vanilla extract to taste.
Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
