1

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Make sure they're fully combined.

2

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat 3 large eggs, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of red food coloring, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

3

Combine the Mixtures

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking constantly. Keep whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be amazed at the vibrant red color!

4

Bake the Cake Layers

Divide the batter equally into three greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5

Cool and Frost

Allow the cake layers to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. In the meantime, prepare a batch of cream cheese frosting (we won't guide you here, it's a secret recipe!). Once the cake layers are completely cooled, frost the top of the first layer, then stack the second layer on top and frost, and finally add the third layer and frost the entire cake.

Decorate and Serve

Let your creativity shine! Decorate the cake with edible flowers, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings. Slice and serve to your amazed guests. Prepare to bask in the glory of your show-stopping Visionary Velvet Cake!
