Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans. Sprinkle with flour, and tap out the excess; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk cake flour, salt, and cocoa; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar and oil, and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add food coloring and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- In a small bowl, mix baking soda and vinegar until combined. Add to batter, and beat for 10 seconds. Evenly divide batter between the prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Remove from the pans, and return to the rack to cool completely.
- Spread 1 1/2 cups of the frosting on one of the layers. Place the second layer on top; spread and swirl the remaining frosting around the sides and top of the cake.The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans. In a bowl, sift together the cake flour, chocolate pudding mix, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of butter with 1 1/2 cup of sugar with an electric mixer until creamy; beat the eggs in, one at a time, and beat until the mixture is fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, in several additions. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the red food color until the batter is uniformly colored. In a bowl, stir the baking soda with vinegar, and gently fold the foamy mixture gently into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- For frosting, place all-purpose flour in a saucepan, and gradually whisk milk into the flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until smoothly combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until thickened and smooth; allow to cool completely. Beat 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 1 minute, and gradually beat in the cooled milk mixture; add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the frosting until fluffy and spreadable, 1 to 2 more minutes.

RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, oil and eggs until completely combined and fluffy. Stir in the food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet, alternating in batches with the buttermilk, until completely combined.
- Scoop the batter into the liners, filling them about two-thirds of the way full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Set on a wire baking rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy and combined, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Remove 1/2 cup of frosting to a piping bag with a small round tip or a ziptop bag. Add the cocoa powder, melted chocolate, vanilla, food coloring and salt to the remaining frosting and beat until completely combined.
- Using an offset spatula or butter knife, spread the chocolate frosting onto the cupcakes in an even layer, as flat as possible. Next, use the white frosting to pipe stitching onto each cupcake, one 2-inch line with 3 small cross-stitches. Serve on a green platter (for grass)!

Steps:
- For the Cake:.
- 1. Mix dry ingredients in a Kitchen Aid mixer with a paddle attachment, except the cherries and chocolate.
- 2. Add cherry juice, eggs, veggie oil, vanilla, no-taste food coloring and mix until incorporated. Scrape bowl in between mixing.
- 3. Add chopped cherries and chocolate.
- 4. Bake at 350 F, until toothpick comes out clean and has a bouncy spring when pressed in the middle of the cake.
- For the Cream Cheese Frosting:.
- 1. Place sterilized kitchen aid bowl (just make sure it's super clean and dry) with whites unto a pan with water, barely simmering (a.ka. double boiler).
- 2. Heat to 160 F, constantly stirring. Be sure to watch it and keep stirring or else it'll turn into an omelette.
- 3. Whip on stand mixer or hand mixer until cool. Place in refrigerator or freezer if necessary, after reaching a medium peak. You could totally make this ahead of time and place it in the fridge or freezer and whip until ready.
- 4. Place back on whip and gradually add butter, one stick at a time. Make sure the meringue is cooled down or at least room temperature, prior to adding it to the mixture or else it will be a soupy mess. The mixture should separate at first (don't be alarmed and freak out). Be patient and keep mixing; it'll come back together. Add softened cream cheese and cream cheese extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- For the Cake Assembly:.
- 1. Add 1 tbsp of sugar and a pinch of salt to your chopped cherries in a small bowl, mix and set aside.
- 2. With the first layer of cake, top with a light drizzle of the juice from the cherries unto the cake.
- 3. Top with a layer of cream cheese frosting, making a small well in the center with your spatula or create a barrier/dam with a piping filled with frosting. Fill with a modest amount of chopped cherries.
- 4. Apply your next layer of cake and alternate with chocolate and cherries, until you get to your desired cake height.
- 5. Complete the cake by frosting it completely around the top and sides. You can also do a "naked cake" with this!
- 6. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Allow the cake to get to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a small heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 1/3 cup water. Place over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush from time to time to prevent crystals from forming. Clip on a candy thermometer and stop stirring; increase the heat to high until temperature registers 235 degrees, about 7 minutes.
- Whisk the egg whites in an electric mixer on medium speed, until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Remove syrup from heat, and pour in a steady stream down the side of the bowl containing the egg-white mixture, with mixer on medium-low speed. Increase speed to medium, and beat until cool, about 9 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat for 2 minutes more. Use immediately to frost cake.
NANA'S RED VELVET CAKE ICING
My mother in law gave me this recipe. She has been making it for 40 years! I use it for all of my cakes, I can't stand regular icing. This icing is not too sweet or buttery. This icing does best if cake is kept in the fridge.
