Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp red food coloring
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Cream cheese frosting (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in buttermilk, food coloring, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
