Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined.

  4. Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

  5. Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.

  6. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread with a layer of frosting. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.

  7. Serve: Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
