Red Velvet Cake

I love cooking, mainly baking sweet things, so I thought I would put up a recipe on how to make a red velvet cake.
This is in no way meant to be a healthy dessert but is absolutely lovely when you're feeling a bit naughty (actually quite naughty) LOL.
I could go on for ages but you just probably want the recipe so here it is:

Cake Batter

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vinegar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp red food colouring
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs

Mix the salt and cocoa powder into the flour, set aside.
Add the food colouring to the buttermilk and set that aside also.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time.
Alternate by adding a third of the flour and half of the buttermilk.
Mix the baking soda with the vinegar then quickly add it to the batter and mix it in.
Bake for 25-30 mins 350f

Cream Cheese Frosting

227g cream cheese
1 cup confectionary sugar
1 1/4 cup whipping cream

Beat cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add cream slowly until spreading consistency.
Frost the cake then put it in the fridge.

Enjoy!
