Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp red food coloring
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray.
2. Beat the softened butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then mix in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla and red food coloring.
3. Stir the cocoa powder into the buttermilk until smooth, then alternate adding the flour and buttermilk mixture into the butter mixture, stirring gently between each addition.
4. Mix the baking soda and white vinegar together in a small bowl, then quickly fold that fizzing mixture into the batter.
5. Pour the batter evenly into both prepared pans and bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting and stacking them together.
