Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 1/2 c flour
1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c butter, room temperature
2 c sugar
4 eggs
1/2 oz red food coloring
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp butter flavoring
1/2 c buttermilk *** see direction #6 for a good substitute
1 c sour cream

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease pans. (I usually use heart shaped ones) =)
2. In small bowl, sift flour, salt & soda together. Add the cocoa powder.
3. In larger bowl, beat butter & sugar together. Add one egg at a time. Beat until smooth
4. Add wet ingredients to egg mixture. At low speed, add a little (about half a cup) of flour mixture at a time.
5. Bake 35-40 minutes for cake, 20-30 minutes for cupcakes ;)
6. ***(a good substitute for buttermilk is 1/4-1/2 Tbsp (or even 1/8 of a cup if that's easier for you to measure) of lemon juice + the remainder of the cup of milk... let sit for a few minutes, stir then add)

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to mix together smoothly and evenly.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake lighter and more tender.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
