If you want a knockout ending to your July 4th feast, look no further. This three-layer red-and white-striped tall cake with its tumble of blue and red berries might just steal the show from the fireworks! Thankfully, it won't stea
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour, not self-rising (sift before measuring)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa (such as Hershey's; not Dutch process or extra-dark cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (1-ounce) bottle (2 tablespoons) red food coloring
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white or cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sour cream mixed with 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 °F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, then line bottoms with rounds of wax paper. Butter paper and dust pans with some additional flour, knocking out excess.
- Resift cake flour together with cocoa, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer (fitted with paddle attachment if using stand mixer) at medium-high speed until combined well, then add oil and beat until very pale and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture and sour cream mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing until batter is smooth.
- Divide batter between pans (about 3 cups in each) and smooth tops. Rap pans on counter a couple of times to expel any air bubbles. Bake in middle of oven until a wooden pick comes out clean and cake begins to pull away from sides of pans, 25 to 30 minutes. Keep oven on.
- Cool layers in pans on racks 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edge of pans. Invert layers onto racks and peel off wax paper. Cool layers completely.
