Cream Cheese Frosting:

• Cream cheese (softened) – 8 oz or 225g (about 1 cup)
• Unsalted butter (softened) – ½ cup or 115g
• Powdered sugar – 3-4 cups or 360-480g
• Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon or 5ml

Instructions 

Preheat the oven for about  10-15 minutes at  350°F (175°C) before placing your cake in. 

Prep your ingredients: Measure all the ingredients as mentioned and set them aside for an easy and fast preparation process. This will make your baking smooth and enjoyable. 

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl: Take a medium-sized bowl and sift together your dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix them and Set aside. 

Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl: Take another bowl and whisk all your wet ingredients together, like vegetable oil, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and buttermilk. Stir them entirely and make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. 

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients: Slowly add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, mixing them gently with a spatula. Make sure you are not overmixing the batter, as we need fluffy batter for a spongy cake. 

Grease your cake pan with oil or butter from all sides to prevent any batter from sticking to the pan. 

Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes in the oven and remove it after 30 minutes. Let it cool on the cooling rack after removing the cake from the mould. 

Prepare cream cheese frosting: Mix in a bowl some powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and a hint of vanilla extract. Make it a smooth and velvety mixture to be used as frosting for the cake. 

Decorate and enjoy: Once the cake is cooled, slice it into 2 pieces and cover the cake with your cream cheese frosting generously. If you like, sprinkle it with sprinkles or decorative items of your choice to enhance its beauty.
