How to Make He Proposed Red Velvet Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together 2 cups sugar and 1 cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in 1 cup buttermilk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons red food coloring until just combined.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup cooled coffee and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coffee mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Alternatively, lightly press the top of the cake; if it springs back, it's done.
10. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite whipped cream cheese frosting.
