Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1–2 teaspoons purple gel food coloring (adjust for desired shade)

For the frosting:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 6 ounces white chocolate (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 3–3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, vinegar, and purple food coloring. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth and evenly colored.
  4. Bake the cakes: Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Make the frosting: For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy and spreadable.
  6. Assemble the cake: Frost the cooled cake layers and decorate as desired.

Notes

  • Gel food coloring provides the most vibrant purple hue.
  • Chill the cake briefly after frosting for cleaner slices.
  • Garnish with white chocolate shavings or edible flowers for a beautiful presentation.
