This American-style cake pairs light cocoa-flavored, velvety layers with cream cheese frosting. Its vivid color makes it a show-stopping choice for birthdays and special celebrations.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda into a bowl and mix.
Beat the egg, sugar, and cooking oil. Add the buttermilk, red food coloring, and vinegar, then continue mixing.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until smooth. Divide the batter between two pans. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Beat the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Spread the frosting between the fully cooled cake layers and over the top. Important: Make sure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting, or the frosting may run.
Important: Add the red food coloring a little at a time and check the color; too much can leave a bitter flavor. Allergens: contains gluten (wheat), egg, and dairy (buttermilk, cream cheese, and butter).
