Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon edible glitter
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pans.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick spray or butter and flour.
2. Mix dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients.
In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until well combined.
4. Combine wet and dry mixtures.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and well blended.
5. Bake the cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
6. Make the whipped cream frosting.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
7. Assemble the cake.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then add the second layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
8. Decorate the cake.
Sprinkle the edible glitter generously over the frosted cake for a magical touch!
