For the Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cream cheese: 16 ounces, softened
- Unsalted butter: 1 cup, softened
- Powdered sugar: 4 cups, sifted
- Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy release.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully blended.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cake’s texture.
2. Bake the Cakes
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud.
- Add the vanilla extract and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
