Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray. Cut two 8-inch parchment paper circles to sit in the bottom of the cake pans. Add about 1 – 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the sides of the greased pan and tap out any excess flour. Repeat with the second cake pan.
- Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until combined.
- In a large bowl, add in the cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients in with the dry and beat until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in any remaining flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, work on the cream cheese frosting.
Frosting
- Add the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium until smooth.
- Add in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on low until the powdered sugar is mostly incorporated.
- Turn the mixer on medium and beat until creamy.
- Place the first layer of cooled cake on a cake plate.
- Add a large scoop of frosting to the cake and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
- Add the second layer of cake on top of the frosting and gently press down.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake.
