** You can substitute buttermilk with 240ml of milk and 1tbsp of lemon juice (let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Cream cheese - 220 grams (Room temperature)
- Mascarpone - 27 grams
- Vanilla extract - 4 grams / 1 tsp
- Confectioners sugar - 150 grams / 1 cup
- Heavy whipping cream*** - 300ml / 1 ¹/₄ cups (Cold)
***This means the cream has 35 to 40% butter content, so when it whips it will get picks.
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF / 180ºC and butter round cake pans (two 9 inch).
2. Beat the butter until it’s smooth.
3. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract, mix in high medium speed until light and fluffy.
4. Add each egg, one a time, blending them completely.
5. Sift dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa powder, salt).
6. Mix the red food coloring with the buttermilk.
7. Beat third of the dry ingredients with the butter and sugar mixture (at low speed) until it’s smooth, then add half of the buttermilk and mix (at low speed). Repeat the process adding another third of the dry ingredients and the rest of the buttermilk and finalising with the last of the dry ingredients.
8. Mix the baking soda and the vinegar together, add that to the cake batter and beat it.
9. Quickly after divide the batter between both cake pans (520 grams each) and flatten it with the back of a spoon.
10. Bake for approximately 25 minutes (check a little before and a little after with a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake).
11. When the cakes are ready, place them on a cooling rack for ten minutes before pulling them out of the pans. Then take them out of the pans carefully and butter the rack before placing them there again.
*Pro tip: Do not frost your cake immediately after baking. Wrap it up and place it inside the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours so it is firmer when the frosting starts.
12. Beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it’s smooth and then beat in the mascarpone.
13. Mix in the vanilla extract and confectioners sugar at low speed and after mix at medium speed to get air inside and get fluffy frosting.
14. Whip the heavy cream (first in low speed and then higher) until you get stiff picks, but not completely firm.
15. In stages add the whipped cream to the frosting (mix in medium speed).
16. Frost the cake with a lot of frosting.
*Pro tip: You can put a thin layer of frosting, then refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes and then finish frosting.
17. Refrigerate before serving so the frosting doesn’t softs up.
