Ingredients
For the cake:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
For the frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the red food coloring.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and cream, adding more cream if needed for desired consistency.
6. To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the top with frosting. Top with the second layer, and spread the top and sides with remaining frosting.
