- In a separate bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt. Then add half of the dry mixture to the wet mixture, followed by half of the buttermilk. Then add in the remaining dry ingredients and the remaining buttermilk. In a separate small bowl mix together the vinegar and baking soda, then add to the batter and combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan, then invert the cakes on to a wire rack to finish cooling. - For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the powder sugar. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- You can always control how much sweet you want your frosting. Taste after every other addition of the icing sugar to obtain your perfect taste of sweetness. - To assemble, place one of the cakes on a cake plate or stand. Top the first layer of cake with a generous, even layer of frosting. Place in the freezer to firm the frosting, about 10 minutes.

- Place the third layer on top and cover the tops and sides with a thin "crumb" layer of frosting and freeze again for 10 minutes. - Cover the entire top and sides of the cake with a thick, even layer of frosting, covering the crumb coat.
