Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Filling

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the filling, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat until fluffy.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting onto the flat side of half the cakes and sandwich with the remaining cakes.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
