Scale

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp green food coloring

1 tsp vanilla extract

cream cheese frosting for layering and decorating

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, green food coloring, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cool, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting between the two layers and cover the entire cake with frosting.
Decorate as desired and serve to celebrate your special occasion!

Ensure the buttermilk is at room temperature for best results. You can adjust the amount of green food coloring based on your color preference.
