Ingredients

Servings

• 2.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 2 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Red Food Coloring
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

Instructions

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, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
