MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
1/2 c Cold water
1 tb Cornstarch
2 c Butter; softened
2 ts Vanilla extract
3 1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7
minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each
addition. Beat in food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. In
another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda
and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with
buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool layers 10 minutes before
removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Trim 1/4" off top of each cake layer; crumble trimmings
onto a baking sheet. Let crumbs stand at room
temperature while making frosting.
For frosting, combine water and cornstarch in a small
saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thickened and
opaque, 2-3 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Beat
butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in
cornstarch mixture. Gradually add confectioners' sugar;
beat until light and fluffy. Spread between layers and
over top and side of cake. Press reserved cake crumbs
into side of cake.
