Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of red food coloring, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium bowl until smooth.
Gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Once cakes are completely cooled, frost with the cream cheese frosting, covering both the top and sides of the cake.
Slice and serve your flavorful and colorful Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting to your delighted guests!
