Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder (secret ingredient for depth!)
  • 1½ cups vegetable oil (keeps it ultra-moist)
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temp
  • 2 large eggs, room temp
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring (adjust for pink shade)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar (reacts with baking soda for lift)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

  • Cream cheese frosting (homemade or store-bought)

Optional Decorations:

  • Sprinkles
  • Edible flowers
  • Fresh berries

Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease & flour two 9-inch round cake pans (or line with parchment paper).

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.

3. Blend Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Combine & Mix

  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined (don’t overmix!).

5. Bake to Perfection

  • Divide batter evenly between pans.
  • Bake 25–30 min until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool Completely

  • Let cakes cool 10 min in pans, then transfer to a wire rack.

7. Frost & Decorate

  • Once fully cooled, frost one layer, stack the second, and cover entire cake with cream cheese frosting.
  • Add sprinkles, berries, or edible glitter for extra glam!

Notes

🎀 For a deeper pink, add 1 extra tsp food coloring.
🎀 Room-temperature ingredients ensure a smooth batter.
🎀 Don’t skip the vinegar—it reacts with baking soda for a light, fluffy texture.
🎀 Chill cake before slicing for cleaner cuts.
