1 (1 ounce) bottle mccormick red food coloring
2 teaspoons mccormick pure vanilla extract

Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°F Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
2. 2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in sour cream, milk, food color and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until just blended. Do not overbeat. Spoon batter into 30 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full.
