  3. In bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until soft (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5.  Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  6. whisk the milk with the red food coloring. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture

  8.  Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 - 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Once the cakes have completely cooled, you can spread the cream cheese.


Cream Cheese Frosting:

  1.  In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and the butter together until fluffy.and smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar and beat until smooth.
OPTIONAL STEPS:
  1. With a serrated knife, cut the cake  in half, You will now have four cake layers.
  2. Place one of the cake layers, top of the cake facing down, onto your serving platter. Spread the cake layer with a layer of frosting. 
  3. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
Remarks: 
I skip these because i'm lazy .  So I just spread the frosting all over the cake.  Besides, it's a home baking, no need to look fancy and attempting as long as it's yummy!
