Mums Good Ol Red Velvet Cake

One of my mom's old "Black Box" recipes, tender and tangy from buttermilk and rich from butter and eggs, it's nothing short of homey! For an unconventional but delicious filling, I recommend a tangy banana-cream cheese frosting!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown sugar shopping list
- 3/4 cup sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup butter shopping list
- 3 eggs shopping list
- 1 tbsp vanilla shopping list
- 3 tbsp red food colouring shopping list
- 1 tbsp water shopping list
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted shopping list
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 cup buttermilk shopping list
- 1 tbsp vinegar shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour either two round 9" cake pans or one large (9x13") pan.
- Cream sugars and butter until fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla, beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Make a paste of the food colouring, water and cocoa powder, add to above mixture, mixing well.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Add dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture.
- Mix vinegar and baking soda to combine well.
- Add to the batter, mixing in thoroughly.
- Pour into prepared pan(s), tap on the countertop to dislodge any large bubbles.
- Bake 30 minutes (for 9" pans), until cakes test done.
