Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 🍬
- 1 tsp baking soda 🥄
- 1 tsp salt 🧂
- 1 tsp cocoa powder 🍫
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 🛢️
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature 🥛
- 2 large eggs, room temperature 🥚
- 2 tbsp red food coloring 🌹
- 1 tsp white vinegar 🍋
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
- Cream cheese frosting 🧀
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure easy removal. 🧁
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined and smooth. 🌾
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, white vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated. 🥛
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and lump-free. 🎨
- Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 🍰
- Cool the Cake: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. 🕓
- Frost the Cake: Once completely cooled, frost the top of one layer with cream cheese frosting, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake. Don’t forget the sides for a perfect finish! 🎂
Notes
