Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pink Velvet Cake
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- Beat Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese together until creamy and smooth.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
- Layer the Cakes: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on top.
- Add Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
- Decorate: Add your choice of sprinkles, edible flowers, or fresh berries for a beautiful finish.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy the delightful flavors and beautiful presentation!
