  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 (1-oz) bottle red food coloring
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • chunky cherry icing

Directions:

  1. Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears. Stir in vanilla extract and food coloring until blended.
  2. Combine flour, cocoa, and salt. Add to shortening mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until blended. Spoon batter into greased and floured muffin pans, or line with lightly greased cupcake liners, filling two-thirds full.
