Ingredients

  

• ▢ 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 ½ cups sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ 1 teaspoon fine salt
• ▢ 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• ▢ 2 large eggs
• ▢ 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• ▢ 1 cup buttermilk
• ▢ 2 tablespoons red food coloring
• ▢ 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

WHIPPED CREAM INGREDIENTS

• ▢ 3 cups heavy cream
• ▢ 1 ½ cups sugar
• ▢ 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
• Grease an 11 x 13 baking pan and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs. Add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix to combine.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake about 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let rest until cool. Cut the cooled cake into small cubes.
• In pretty glasses, assemble the dessert cups as follows:
• Spoon in whipped cream at the bottom, top with a layer of the cake cubes. Finish with another dollop of whipped cream, and a bit of cake crumbs.
• Alternatively, you can also assemble this in a large trifle bowl instead of individual cups if desired. This will make about 10-15 dessert cups depending on the size of the glasses.
• Store dessert cups in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

WHIPPED CREAM DIRECTIONS

• In an electric mixer on low, combine the cream, sugar and vanilla.
• Once combined, increase the speed of the mixer and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Refrigerate leftover whipped cream (if any).
• ENJOY!
