Instructions to make Southern Red Velvet Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly oil and flour three 9x1 1/2" round pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Using a standing mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined and a smooth batter is formed.
- Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Place the pans in the oven evenly spaced apart.
- Bake, rotating the pans halfway through the cooking, until the cake pulls away from the side of the pans and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- While the cakes are baking, make the icing.
- In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a handheld electric mixer in a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and butter on low speed until incorporated.
- Increase the speed to high, and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.)
- Reduce the mixer speed to low.
- Add the vanilla, raise the speed to high and mix briefly until fluffy (scrape down the bowl occasionally).
- Story in the refrigerator until somewhat stiff before using.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the sides of the pans.
- One at a time, invert the cakes onto a plate and then re-invert them onto a cooling rack, rounded sides up; let cool completely.
- Frost the cake.
- Place 1 layer, rounded side down, in the middle of a rotating cake stand.
- Using a palette knife or offset spatula, spread some of the cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake. (Spread enough to make 1/4" to 1/2" layer.)
- Carefully set another layer on top, rounded side down, and repeat.
- Top with the remaining layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- OPTIONAL: Sprinkle the top with toasted pecans.
