Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter, softened; 2-1/4 cups sugar; 3 large eggs; 4-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar; 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 3-3/4 cups cake flour; 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 1-1/2 cups buttermilk; 3 tablespoons baking cocoa; 4-1/2 teaspoons red food coloring; 1 cup butter, softened; 9 cups confectioners' sugar; 3 teaspoons vanilla extract; 2/3 to 3/4 cup 2% milk

Servings: persons

3/4 cup butter, softened
2-1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
4-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-3/4 cups cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
4-1/2 teaspoons red food coloring
1 cup butter, softened
9 cups confectioners' sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 to 3/4 cup 2% milk

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Line bottoms of two greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.
2
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vinegar and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
3
Transfer half of the batter to another bowl; stir in cocoa and food coloring until blended. Alternately drop plain and chocolate batters by 1/4 cupfuls into prepared pans, dividing batter evenly between pans. To make batter level in pans, bang cake pans several times on counter.
4
Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
5
In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach a spreading consistency. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
