MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
1/2 c Water; cold
1 tb Corn starch
2 c Butter; softened
2 ts Vanilla extract
3 1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
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" 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 corn starch 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 corn starch 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.
