Cake Ingredients
Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting with flour.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until the mixture is smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour into Cake Pans
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake the Cake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
