PIES AND TACOS
This Red Velvet Cake is a timeless classic.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, vinegar, and red gel food coloring until combined.
On low speed, alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and tap them lightly on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Level cooled cakes if needed. Layer with 3/4 cup frosting each, then apply a thin crumb coat. Chill 15–30 minutes, then frost with a smooth final layer.
Sprinkle some cake crumbs on top of the cake. Now it's ready to enjoy!
