Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups cake flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (or homemade substitute)
- 1 tablespoon pink food coloring
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and vegetable oil until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in buttermilk and pink food coloring.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy. Frost cooled cakes generously.
