Happy Valentine's Day!

This is for my cousin Chris in Alaska who lost her recipe...I hope you like this one!

RED VELVET CAKE
(from my mom via and old friend Dorothy)

2 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp cocoa
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 c. buttermilk
2 oz red food color

Mix by hand.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides and toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 pkg cream cheese
1 stick butter
4 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

We've had this recipe forever!  I used it for my cousin's wedding cake and it was a big hit.
