Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2
Combine dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

3
Cream butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

4
Add eggs and oil

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add vegetable oil, mixing until combined.

5
Alternate dry ingredients and buttermilk

Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

6
Add food coloring and flavorings

Stir in red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.

7
Bake cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.

8
Prepare frosting

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

9
Assemble cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

10
Serve
