💕😋Purple Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting😋💕
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp red food coloring
1 tsp white distilled vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp (or more) purple food coloring
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 lb cream cheese, softened
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
Instructions:
Prepare the Oven and Pans:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red and purple food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
Blend the Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Bake the Cake:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting:
Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Assemble the Cake:
Frost each layer of the cooled cake with the cream cheese frosting and stack them. Finish frosting the entire cake.
