Ingredients
- ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- 1½ cups granulated sugar.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- 1 teaspoon salt.
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder.
- 1½ cups vegetable oil.
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature.
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring.
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 1 teaspoon purple food coloring.
- 1 pound cream cheese, softened.
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature.
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted.
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing and dusting them with flour.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, vinegar, and food coloring until well combined.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Beat the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until creamy. Gradually add sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
