Easter Pink Velvet Cake

Easter Pink Velvet Cake is a delicious and visually stunning dessert that is perfect for Easter celebrations. This cake is a twist on the classic red velvet cake, with a beautiful pink hue that is achieved by adding a few drops of food coloring.

To make this Easter Pink Velvet Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2-3 drops pink food coloring

For the cream cheese frosting:

- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, vinegar, and pink food coloring.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
While the cakes are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Once the cakes have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one of the cakes, then place the second cake on top. Spread the remaining frosting on top and around the sides of the cake.
The Easter Pink Velvet Cake is a beautiful and delicious dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The cake has a moist and tender crumb, with a subtle vanilla flavor and a hint of tanginess from the cream cheese frosting. The pink color adds a festive touch that is perfect for Easter celebrations.
