Ingredients:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 and ½ cups granulated sugar
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons red gel food coloring
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

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

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined and set aside.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract and red gel food coloring until the batter is a vibrant red color.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined after each addition. Be sure not to overmix the batter.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

7. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

8. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganache. Add some colorful sprinkles or chocolate shavings on top for a finishing touch.
