Time 55m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 ounces red food coloring (or 1 oz. mixed with 1 oz. water)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 lb butter (no subs)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream shortening with sugar; add eggs.
  • Combine cocoa and food coloring to make a paste.
  • Stir into creamed mixture.
  • Sift four and salt together.
  • Then with electric mixer at medium speed, add alternately with buttermilk to mixture.
  • Blend well; add vanilla.
  • Combine vinegar and soda and while still foaming, add to batter.
  • Do not beat; instead stir gently.
  • Bake in 2 greased and floured layer cake pans at 350° for 30-35 minutes.
  • Icing: Cook flour and milk over medium heat until thick, stirring constantly.
  • Cool.
  • Add sugar, butter and vanilla.
  • Beat at high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread on cooled cake.
  • Icing will take a length of time to set; it resembles whip cream when cool.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out red. It was more of a brown color.
