Red Velvet Cake

2 1/2 Cups Flour

2 TB Cocoa Powder

1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

1/2 Cup Butter (softened)

1 1/2 Cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1 1/2 tsp Red Food Coloring

1 tsp Vanilla

1 Cup Buttermilk

2 TB Water

1 1/2 tsp White Vinegar

1 tsp Baking Soda

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cake pans with oil and flour.
In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, icing color and vanilla; mix well until icing color is well incorporated (scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary). Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to butter mixture; add water and mix well.  In small bowl, combine white vinegar and baking soda; gently stir into the batter.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
