Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 oz red food coloring
  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • white frosting, recipe follows
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the shortening, eggs and sugar. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cocoa and food coloring. Add the paste to the shortening mixture. Sift the flour and salt together over parchment. Add to the batter alternately with the buttermilk in 3 additions. Add the vanilla extract. Fold in the baking soda and vinegar. Pour the batter into 2 greased 9-inch cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until an inserted cake tester comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack. Invert the cakes from the pans.

  4. Frost the top of the first layer with frosting and set the second layer on top. Frost the entire cake with remaining frosting.
