How to Make He Proposed Red Velvet Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- 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.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 2 cups sugar and 1 cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 cup buttermilk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons red food coloring until just combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup cooled coffee and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- 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.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- 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.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost with your favorite whipped cream cheese frosting.
