Step 1

Mix all your liquid ingredients: the butter, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 2

Now add your food coloring. I usually use gel food personally, but you can use powdered or liquid food coloring as well.

Step 3

Don't use too much, even if it looks pink at first it's normal! Adding the dry ingredients will make your mixture more red.

Step 4

Aside, mix all your dry ingredients together: flour, sugar, baking powder and cocoa powder.

Step 5

Mix it all together.

Step 6

Now mix your dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients. Remember to strain them well :)

Step 7

Mix it all together again.

Step 8

Then divide your preparation in several equal parts for the cooking. Here I used 3 molds because they are very small: about 15cm in diameter. If you are using larger pans, I suggest you to use only 2 molds.

Step 9

Bake at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes.

Step 10

In the meantime, you can make the cream by mixing: the whipped cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla flavoring.

Step 11

Now all you have to do is assemble the cake! A layer of cake, a layer of cream, and so on :)

Step 12

It's ready! Ideally, leave it in the fridge for a few hours before cutting it for a better result :)

Step 13

Enjoy.
