1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch cake pan with Baking Spray.
2
In a medium bowl combine sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sifted cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla extract, and red gel food coloring until thoroughly blended.

With the mixer set on low speed, gradually integrate the dry ingredient mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until completely combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the frosting to set.
