Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter for frosting
  • 2–3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  5. Mix in the buttermilk and vinegar until smooth.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar to desired consistency.
  10. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. Don’t overmix the batter for a light texture.
