Step 3

In bowl, combine salt, baking powder, and all-purpose flour, spoon half of the mixture into the butter, sugar and egg mixture beating on lowest speed (or with a spatula by hand) until just combined. The dd half of buttermilk, then add the remainder of the flour mixture followed by the remainder of the buttermilk. Stir in the vanilla and food coloring (if your using it).

Step 4

Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 8-10 minutes in the pan placed on a wire cooling rack. Then, turn the cakes out on the cooling rack to cool completely.
