The Cake Ingredients
-
2 cups sugar
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 ounces red food coloring
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
The Icing
-
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup melted marshmallows
1 (1-pound) box confectioners' sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped Priester's Pecans
Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and
butter, beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix
well after each addition. Mix cocoa and food coloring together and then
add to sugar mixture; mix well. Sift together flour and salt. Add flour
mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Blend in
vanilla. In a small bowl, combine baking soda and vinegar and add to
mixture. Pour batter into 3 (8-inch) round greased and floured pans.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center
comes out clean. Remove from heat and cool completely before frosting.
Icing Instructions
