Mom's Oops-Tastic Red Velvet Cake

• 1 12 cups sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 14 cups sifted cake flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 (1 ounce) bottles red food coloring
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 12 cup margarine, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream sugar and oil.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
4. Sift flour three times (re-measure flour to get 2 1/4 cups after sifting -- flour seems to grow after it's been sifted); add salt and baking soda to dry mixture.
5. Add 1/4 of flour and 1/4 of buttermilk to mixture.
6. Beat well.
7. Repeat until all is incorporated.
8. Add vanilla and vinegar; beat well.
9. Slowly add food coloring, stirring by hand until well mixed.
10. Pour into three greased and floured (or just use the cooking spray designed for baking) 8-inch pans.
11. Bake 21-25 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan; cool thoroughly on wire rack.
12. For frosting: cream together the margarine and cream cheese.
13. Gradually add the box of powdered sugar.
14. Add vanilla and mix well.
15. Spread evenly over cooled cake layers.
16. NOTE: This amount of frosting is a little sparse for me.
17. I usually make an additional half batch to frost the cake.
18. Hope you enjoy!
