Preheat the oven to 350F
Grease and flour two 8 inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
In another bowl, mix together oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined and batter is smooth.
Divide the cake batter between the prepared cake pans.
Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
Remove cakes from oven and allow them to cool in pan for about 20 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of each layer and carefully transfer cakes to a wire rack to finish cooling.
While cakes are cooling prepare frosting.
In a bowl beat butter,cream cheese and vanilla extract until fluffy.
Add in powdered sugar and milk gradually.
Beat on high until frosting is smooth.
If cakes are completely cooled, frost cakes and garnish with crushed pecans if desired.
