A slightly more refined red velvet cake featuring a touch of sour cream for extra moisture and a hint of almond extract in the frosting. Uses quality vanilla and cocoa.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round baking pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Cake Flour, Baking Soda, Cocoa Powder, and Salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the Butter and Granulated Sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the Eggs one at a time, then stir in the Vanilla Extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the Buttermilk, Sour Cream, Red Food Coloring, and Vinegar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before frosting.
To make the Frosting, beat together the Cream Cheese and Butter until smooth.
Gradually add the Powdered Sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the Vanilla Extract and Almond Extract.
Frost the cooled cake layers.
