Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp cocoa
  • 2 tbsp hot coffee
  • 1 7/8 cups flour (that's 2 cups, minus 2 tsp.)
  • 1 tsp red food coloring (not a typo!)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour milk or 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Cream margarine and sugar till fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, mix cocoa, coffee, and food coloring till a smooth paste is formed. Blend into the creamed mixture. Mix flour, salt and soda, and add to mixture alternately with sour milk or buttermilk. Add vanilla. Pour into two greased and floured cake pans, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or till tops spring back when lightly touched.
  2. Cool completely before frosting.
  3. Note: Take care which of your utensils you use to mix coloring mixture. Plastic or wood will pick up the red color and stain permanently. I always use metal and glass.
