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 sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
-
In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk and vinegar. Add the baking soda and stir until foamy. Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter and mix until well combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared 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 them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare the Buttercream Frosting according to the recipe below.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with a generous amount of Buttercream Frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
