Red Velvet Cake recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat together the sugar, vegetable oil, and buttermilk until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and white vinegar, and mix until smooth.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the red food coloring until you achieve the desired vibrant color for your Red Velvet Cake.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.
2. Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and beat well after each addition.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
4. Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
5. Decorate as desired and enjoy your delicious Red Velvet Cake!
