Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Cream cheese frosting for decoration
  • Edible decorations (e.g., sprinkles, berries, or mint leaves)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a wreath-shaped baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared wreath-shaped pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare your cream cheese frosting. Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over the top and sides. Use a piping bag to create decorative swirls if desired.
  10. Finish off with edible decorations like sprinkles, berries, or mint leaves to enhance the festive look.
