Red Velvet Valentine Cakes

Recipe
Cake
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 Tbsp red food coloring
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp dutch processed cocoa
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 stick unsalted butter at room temp
8 oz package cream cheese at room tep
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare cake pans, I made 5 mini cakes with this batter and 8 cupcakes, this can also make 1 large bundt cake.  Spray your choice of pans with baking spray or line cupcake pans with paper liners.  Combine first 6 ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat on medium until blended.  Sift together the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl.  Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 intervals, and mix on low after each addition.  Pour batter into prepared cake pans.  Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, about 25 minutes for mini cakes.  Cool completely before frosting.  Frosting:  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream together the butter and cream cheese until soft and smooth.  Slowly add the confectioners sugar and continue to blend, scraping sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.  Add vanilla extract and mix on medium until smooth and fluffy.  Frost the top of your cakes and decorate as desired.
