Steps to make Southern Red Velvet Cake:

  4. In another large bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
  5. Using a standing mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined and a smooth batter is formed.
  6. Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  7. Place the pans in the oven evenly spaced apart.
  8. 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.
  9. While the cakes are baking, make the icing.
  10. 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.

  17. Frost the cake.
  18. Place 1 layer, rounded side down, in the middle of a rotating cake stand.
  19. 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.)
  20. Carefully set another layer on top, rounded side down, and repeat.
  21. Top with the remaining layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
