Shift the Dry Ingredients and whisk to combine in a bowl. - 3. Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with electric beater or in stand mixer until smooth and well combined - 4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between to combine. Keep beating until it's smooth.
-
- Add vegetable oil, vinegar, vanilla, buttermilk and red food colouring. Beat until combined and smooth. - 6. Add Dry Ingredients. Beat until just combined - some small lumps is ok, that's better than over mixing.
-
- Divide batter between cake pans. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes on the same shelf, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. - 8. Rest for 10 minutes in the pan then turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool.
- Frosting - 1. Beat together cream cheese, butter and vanilla for 3 minutes (this makes it really smooth and changes from yellow to almost white). Add icing sugar and beat for 2 minutes or until frosting is light and fluffy to your taste. If your frosting seems too runny (depends on quality of cream cheese/ if the cream cheese was too soft), just add more icing sugar.
- Frost Cake - 1. Cut the top off the cake using a knife (to make the layers meat). - 2. Spread one cake with 1 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with the other cake. Spread top and sides with remaining frosting.
