Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 bottle (1 oz) red food color
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour 3 (8- or 9-inch) round pans.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend all cake ingredients on low speed for 30 seconds, while scraping the bowl constantly. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Transfer the mixture into the pans.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely for about 1 hour.
  • 1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup flour and 1 1/2 cups milk, whisk until smooth, and cook until very thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. 2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour mixture by tablespoonfuls, beating on high speed until smooth. Mix in vanilla. 3. Fill and frost the cake, using 1 cup of frosting between layers. Store covered in the refrigerator.
