Red Velvet Cake
Serves: 10
1 package devils food cake mix moist style with pudding in the mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 ounce liquid red food coloring (1 small bottle)
*If you use the more concentrated paste or gel coloring, beat in enough to make the batter a vivid red color.
Grease and flour a 13x10x2-inch baking pan. Heat oven to 350°. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, baking soda, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, vinegar, and food coloring.
Beat on low speed until well blended. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger. Let cool on a rack. Ice with homemade cream cheese icing for a traditional taste.
