Red Velvet Cake

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly, then add the eggs. In a small bowl, make a paste of the food coloring and cocoa, and add it to the creamed mixture. Mix the salt with the flour. Mix in a third of the buttermilk and a third of the flour and salt mixture. When thoroughly incorporated, add another third of each and mix. Add the final third of buttermilk, flour, and salt. Add the vanilla.

In a small bowl held over the mixing bowl, add the baking soda to the vinegar. It will foam vigorously. Quickly add it to the batter, blending it gently instead of beating.

Pour the batter into two 8-inch buttered and floured round cake pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool thoroughly on racks.

Using very sharp knife or dental floss, split each layer into 2 layers. Frost and serve.
