- 1 ½ cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Buttermilk room temperature

Frosting Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese softened
- ½ cup Unsalted butter softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar sifted

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

- In another bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cakes, layering one on top of the other. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
