Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

1. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda into a small bowl and set aside.

2. Whisk the butter and sugar until well combined in a separate small bowl and set aside.

3. Combine the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and food coloring in a small bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Slowly pour the buttermilk mixture into the butter mixture whisking briskly to comine. Add in the flour mixture and stir until well combined.

Once the green ready light is lit, divide the cake batter evenly among the cake wells, about 1/3 cup or 6 tablespoons each.
