- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cakes are cool, frost the top of one layer, place the other layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
