How to Make Go Big Red Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the salt and flour.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the red food coloring and cocoa powder until smooth; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Gradually add the cocoa mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until combined.
- In a separate cup, combine the baking soda and vinegar; let foam for a minute.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and the baking soda/vinegar mixture.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost the layers with your Big Red frosting.
