Ingredients

For the Red Velvet Cake:

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1½ cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Decoration:

• Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries)
• Edible rose petals
• Chocolate shavings

Directions

Baking the Red Velvet Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined and smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Creating the Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting is thick and well combined.
3. Mix in vanilla extract until incorporated.

Assembling the Cake:

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
2. Place the second cake layer on top. Cover the entire cake with a thin layer of frosting to create a “crumb coat.”
3. Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes to allow the crumb coat to set.
4. Apply a final layer of cream cheese frosting to the cake, ensuring it’s smooth and even.

Decorating with Love:

1. Gently press fresh berries onto the sides of the cake.
2. Arrange edible rose petals on top of the cake for a romantic touch.
3. Finish by sprinkling chocolate shavings over the cake, adding a touch of elegance.
