Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (8-inch) cake pans.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another mixing bowl, beat the vegetable oil, butter, and eggs until smooth.
• Add the cocoa powder, red food coloring, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Add half of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix until just combined.
• Then add the buttermilk and mix until well combined.
• Finally, add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
• Then, remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• To make the cream cheese frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Once the cakes are cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting on top of one of the cakes.
• Place the other cake on top of the frosting.
• Frost the top and sides of the cake (optional, you can leave the sides naked too if you choose to do so) with the remaining frosting using an offset spatula.
• Slice and serve!
