Red Velvet Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, add melted butter and granulated sugar and mix until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Once all eggs are incorporated, add vanilla extract, milk, hot coffee (or hot water), and cocoa powder; mix until smooth. Once all wet ingredients are incorporated, add the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt) and fold until the batter comes together. Transfer your batter into two lined round 8-inch baking dishes. Bake at 350°F for 32-35 minutes. Allow cakes to completely cool before frosting. For the frosting, add butter and cream cheese to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whip on high speed for 5 minutes. Add confectioners sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix again on high speed for 7-10 minutes until light and fluffy. Once your cakes have completely cooled, add your frosting, slice, and enjoy!
