Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the cocoa powder, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, flour, baking soda, vinegar, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just blended.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 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 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired.
