Ingredients

This recipe makes one 9-inch layer cake and requires just a few basic ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions

To make the cake:

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla and mix until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add the red food color and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
