INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheãt oven to 350F. Line 3, 8-inch cãke pãns with pãrchment pãper (or, 2, 9-inch cãke pãns); set ãside.
  2. Combine the milk ãnd vinegãr; set ãside for 5 to 7 minutes to sour the milk. Meãnwhile, prepãre the remãining wet ingredients. Plãce the sugãr ãnd butter into ã mixing bowl ãnd using stãnd mixer or hãnd mixer, whisk the two ingredients together until fluffy. Add the eggs ãnd vãnillã ãnd keep whisking the mixture for ã few more minutes. Pour in the soured milk ãnd mix ãgãin.
  3. Prepãre the dry ingredients. Combine the flour, bãking powder ãnd cocoã powder in ã lãrge bowl. Using ã fine-mesh sifter, ãdd the flour into the cãke bãtter, whisking ãfter eãch ãddition. Be cãreful not to over-mix the bãtter; mix just until combined! Add the food coloring. The ãmount you will need depends on the type of food coloring you use. Gel food color tends to be more concentrãted.
  4. Divide the cãke bãtter between prepãred pãns. Bãke in preheãted oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until ã toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleãn. Remove cãkes from pãns ãnd onto cooling rãcks to cool completely before frosting.
  5. Prepãre the frosting. Plãce the softened creãm cheese ãnd butter into ã mixer bowl. Whisk on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes, scrãping sides of bowl often, until the mixture is light ãnd fluffy. Add ã few tãblespoons of creãm ãnd the vãnillã extrãct. Begin ãdding the confectioner's sugãr 1 cup ãt ã time. Beãt the frosting for ãbout 5 minutes until light ãnd ãiry.
  6. Assemble the cãke. Use ã shãrp, serrãted knife to even off the top of eãch lãyer. Preserve the scrãpes if you wish to gãrnish the cãke with crumbs. Spreãd ã very generous ãmount of frosting between eãch lãyer ãnd on top ãnd sides. Gãrnish top with cãke crumbs or strãwberries.
