Step 1: Prep the Pans

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease and line two 8-inch round pans with parchment paper.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Sifting gives a smoother, fluffier texture.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk oil, buttermilk, vanilla, vinegar, and red food coloring.
The mixture should look glossy and vibrant red.

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry

Add the wet mix to the dry ingredients in parts, whisking slowly. Don’t overmix — just combine until smooth.

Step 5: Bake

Divide the batter into two pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before frosting.
