  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the red food coloring until fully incorporated.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  11. Slice, serve, and savor your elegant pink velvet cake!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract to the frosting. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier blending.
