Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups cake flour
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Making the Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour three 9 inch cake pans. In a medium bowl, mix together the cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, buttermilk, food coloring, vinegar and vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until everything is just combined. Divide the batter equally among the three prepared cake pans.
Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
Making the Frosting
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. If it’s too thick, add a little bit of milk to thin it out. Once the cakes are cool, spread the frosting between each layer and around the outside.
