Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Whisk until well blended.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
