Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • In another bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  • Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes; then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate the frosted cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
