Red Velvet Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 None large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tbsp red food coloring
1 tsp baking soda
9 oz cream cheese, chopped, at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease and line base and sides of 2 (8 inch) round cake pans with baking paper.
In a stand mixer, beat 3/4 cup butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs, 1 by 1, beating well after each addition. Sift cocoa powder and 1/4 cup flour over egg mixture and fold until just combined. Add buttermilk, vinegar, food coloring and baking soda and fold until just combined. Add remaining flour and fold until just combined. Distribute between prepared pans and level surfaces. Bake for 30 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese and remaining butter until combined. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until light and creamy.
Using a large serrated knife, cut each cake in 1/2 horizontally to make 4 layers. Place 1 layer on a serving plate. Spread with 1/4 of the cream cheese frosting. Repeat layering. Spread remaining frosting over top of cake then cut into slices to serve.
