Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 20

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 ¾ cups cake flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup whole milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 ½ teaspoons red food coloring
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
¼ cup freshly brewed coffee
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
12 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon heavy cream
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons McCormick® vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
  • In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and red food coloring.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light, fluffy, and homogenous, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat on medium speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate.
  • Add ½ of the buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 1-2 minutes. Add ½ of the dry ingredients and beat until well-combined, 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining buttermilk and dry ingredients. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the coffee and beat until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before flipping the cakes out onto a wire rack, then let cool completely
  • While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until well combined and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
  • Once cakes have cooled, trim off the domed tops, reserving the scraps. Cut each cake in half so you have 4 even layers.
  • Place 1 cake layer, cut-side up, on a cake stand. Spread an even layer of frosting over the cake. Place another cake layer cut-side down on top of the first layer, spreading another even layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining 2 layers. Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the sides and smooth out with an offset spatula or bench scraper. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until the layer of frosting has hardened.
  • Frost the outside of the cake with a thick layer of frosting. Crumble the reserved cake scraps, then press into the frosting around the bottom of the cake.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
