  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring gel (for striking red color)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting & Garnish

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Dark chocolate shavings or edible gold dust for decoration

Extra ingredients & Useful Tools

  • Fresh berries or edible flowers for decoration
  • Baking pans, mixing bowls, spatula, cake leveler
  • Food coloring gels and candy melts for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, combine vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and vibrant.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
  6. Allow cakes to cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
  7. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
  8. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
  9. Refrigerate frosting until ready to use.
  10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread with frosting.
  11. Top with the second layer and cover the cake with remaining frosting.
  12. Decorate with dark chocolate shavings or edible gold dust for a striking finish, reminiscent of Daredevil’s bold red costume.
  13. Optional: Add edible gems or superhero figurines for extra flair.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter and even baking.
  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant red color without altering batter consistency.
  • Chill the assembled cake before frosting for a smooth, professional finish.
