Ingredients
- 1 3/4 Cups Granulated Sugar

Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
- Beat Oil and sugar approx 3 mins
- Lower speed and slowly add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, red food coloring, vinegar and hot coffee.
- Sift all dry ingredients and slowly add to wet mixture **Do not over mix, I finish off the mix by hand with a whisk and then pass the cake batter through a strainer to get rid of any lumps.
- Bake 35-45 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of the pan and then test the middle, if the tester comes out clean then remove from the oven.
- Allow cakes to completely cool before icing.
Cream Cheese Icing
- 1c. Softened Unsalted Butter (whip on high for 3-4 mins)
- 1/2c. Cream Cheese softened (I put it in the microwave for 10 seconds) *Careful to not over beat when you add the cream cheese!
- 4c. Icing Sugar Once everything is added beat on high for 30sec-1min.
