Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 C. Cake Flour
  • 1 1/2 C. Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 T. Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 C. Vegetable Oil
  • 1 C. Buttermilk
  • 2 T. Red Food Coloring
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1 tsp. Vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt; whisk to blend. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla and vinegar. Beat on medium speed until well blended. Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared liners. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Let cool in the pans 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
