PRESCRIPTION

• Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
• In a large bowl sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir and set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating until proper mix after each addition.
• Add oil, vinegar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk and beat until proper mix.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix after each addition until the proper mix is gotten.
• Add food coloring and mix.
• Pour the batter into two 8-inch (20cm) round baking pans greased with butter and dust with flour (or you can use one pan and bake twice).
• Also, you can use a springform pan lined with parchment.
• Bake 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Release from the pan, then let cool completely.
• Make the frosting: in a large bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
• Beat until smooth and creamy.
• In a separate bowl with heavy cream to stiff peaks. Then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
• Cut the top of the cakes. Cut 8-12 heart shapes from the top layer of the cakes.
• Make crumbs from the leftovers. Set aside.
• Place one cake layer flat side down. Spread a layer of frosting, and place the second layer of cake on top of the frosting, flat side up.
• Spread evenly the frosting on the top and sides of the cake.
• Decoration: Decorate red velvet cake with the crumbs and the hearts.
