2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp white vinegar

1 oz green liquid food coloring

1 cup buttermilk

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp heavy cream

1 tbsp green sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and line two 8-inch

round cake pans.

Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a

medium bowl.

Beat 1 cup butter and granulated sugar until light and

fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in 1 tbsp vanilla,

vinegar, and green food coloring.

Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the

buttermilk, and mix just until combined.

Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 28 to 32

minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Bake time: 28

to 32 minutes.

Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them

out and cool completely.

Beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter until smooth,

then mix in the powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, and heavy

cream until fluffy.

Level the cake layers if needed, spread frosting between

the layers, and frost the top and sides.

Finish with green sprinkles if using, then chill for 20

minutes before slicing.
