Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
-
In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, vinegar, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until light and fluffy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of the cream cheese frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
