Big Red Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup Big Red soda
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Frosting:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup Big Red soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

For the Cake:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
   • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs:
   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Alternate Wet Ingredients:
   • Combine Big Red soda, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Bake:
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

1. Cream Butter:
   • In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth.
2. Add Powdered Sugar:
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well after each addition until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Big Red Soda and Vanilla:
   • Add Big Red soda and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Assembly:

1. Frost the Cake:
   • Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
2. Decorate (Optional):
   • You can decorate the cake with additional Big Red soda drizzle, or garnish with sprinkles or edible decorations if desired.
3. Slice and Enjoy:
   • Slice the Big Red Cake and enjoy the unique and delicious flavor!
