Ingredients

Making the perfect red velvet cake is all about getting the right ingredients in the right proportions. To make the cake, you'll need the following ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 ounces liquid red food coloring
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar

You'll also need a few items to assemble the cake:

2 (9-inch) round cake pans
Parchment paper
Cake board
Buttercream icing
Piping bag and tips (optional)

Instructions

To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the two round cake pans with parchment paper and lightly grease them with butter or cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and red food coloring and mix until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick and glossy. Finally, add the vinegar and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling.

To assemble the cake, place one of the cooled cakes on a cake board. Spread a thin layer of buttercream icing on top. Place the other cake on top of the first and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream. If desired, use a piping bag and tips to decorate the top and sides of the cake. Slice and serve.
