Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: sugar, oil, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and food coloring until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare your favorite frosting (cream cheese frosting is highly recommended) and frost between the layers and on top.
  • Slice and serve, enjoying the beautiful pink layers.
