Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pink Velvet Dream Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and dusting with flour.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Generously frost the top of one cake layer with cream cheese frosting, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
