INGREDIENTS
* 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1tsp salt
* 1 tsp Coco powder
* 3 eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla essence
* 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
* 1 cup buttermilk – at room temperature
* 1 tsp white distilled vinegar
PROCEDURE
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil and flour your cake pans.
2.In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In another large bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
3.Using a standing/ hand mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined and a smooth batter is formed.
4. Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Place the pans in the oven evenly spaced apart. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through the cooking, until the cake pulls away from the side of the pans, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
5. Remove the cakes from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the sides of the pans. One at a time, invert the cakes onto a plate and then re-invert them onto a cooling rack, rounded-sides up. Let cool completely.
POINT TO NOTE
If you can’t find buttermilk around your area, don’t worry I will tell you how to make your own buttermilk.
Mix your milk with the vinegar and stir well. Let the mixture sit for atleast 30 mins but for better results, leaving it overnight is the best idea. Yeah can you imagine it’s that easy no stress.
