👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil. Add vanilla, yogurt (or buttermilk), red food color, and vinegar. Mix everything well, then gradually combine with the dry ingredients. Add water at the end to smooth the batter.
2. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease a round cake pan and pour the batter in. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
3. Make the Frosting:
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
4. Assemble:
Slice the cake horizontally into two layers. Spread frosting in between and on top. Decorate with cake crumbs or sprinkles for a bakery-style finish.
