Red velvet cake

Just chocolate cake

With lots of red food colorin
I used no taste red from wilton
I guess people like the taste from the red coloring.
Here is a recipe I found
2 tbsps *cocoa powder* (unsweetened)
2 ozs *food coloring* (red)
1 cup *buttermilk*
1 tsp *salt*
1 tsp *vanilla extract*
12 cup *shortening*
1 12 cups *white sugar*
2 *eggs*
2 12 cups *all-purpose flour* (sifted)
Grease two 9 inch round pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees
C). Make a paste of cocoa and food coloring. Set aside.2Combine the
buttermilk, salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream
together the shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat
in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the cocoa mixture. Beat in the
buttermilk mixture alternately with the flour, mixing just until
incorporated. Stir together baking soda and vinegar, then gently fold into
the cake batter.3Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven
for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake
comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. Refrigerate
until ready to serve.4To Make Icing: In a saucepan, combine the milk and 5
tablespoons flour. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
thickens. Set aside to cool completely. Cream together butter, 1 cup sugar
and 1 teaspoon vanilla until light and fluffy, then stir in the cooled milk
and flour mixture, beating until icing reaches spreading consistency.
