Instructions

6 steps

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder.
3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Mix in the buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla until the batter is an even red color.
4
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
5
In a small cup, combine the baking soda and vinegar (it will fizz). Quickly and gently fold this into the cake batter.
6
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
