Description
My Grandma Roxie used to make this as a treat and on special occasions. I remember my cousins and I all peeking in Grandma’s kitchen drooling until we got our first bite of “red cake!” Best diet buster ever!
Ingredients
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 2-½ cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Cocoa
- 1-½ cup Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1-½ cup Oil
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 1 bottle (1 Oz. Bottle) Red Food Coloring
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- _____
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- ½ cups Butter Or Margarine
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 box (1-pound Box) Powdered Sugar, Sifted
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla
Preparation
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour three 9-inch round layer cake pans.
Sift flour, baking soda and cocoa to a bowl. Cream sugar and eggs with a mixer in a large bowl.
Add oil, vinegar, food coloring, and vanilla to the bowl and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk, alternating the buttermilk and dry ingredients. Always start with the flour and end with the flour.
Pour batter evenly into pans. Bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before turning out of pan. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
Bring margarine and cream cheese to room temperature. Cream well with a mixer in a small bowl.
Add sugar and beat until mixed but not so much that the frosting becomes “loose.” Add vanilla and mix well.
Spread between layers and on top and sides of cake.

I made your cake with another cream cheese icing recipe- I liked that yours had more cocoa and less sugar! Great balance- perfect timing to find it! Thanks for posting.
