Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
-
Combine the buttermilk and vinegar in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in a little water. Add both mixtures to the batter and mix well.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Enjoy your melt in your mouth red velvet cake!
