  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
  9. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
  10. Once the frosting is fluffy and even, it’s ready for assembly.
  11. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top.
  12. Top with the second cake layer and apply a thin crumb coat of frosting. Chill for 30 minutes.
  13. Finish with a smooth layer of frosting around the entire cake, then decorate as desired.

Notes

  • For a more vibrant red color, add extra food coloring or gel-based colorants.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
