Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 cup butter flavor Crisco shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs (I use large)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 ounces red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons baking cocoa
  • Cream cheese frosting (use your favorite)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease an 18x12 inch sheet cake pan (or you can use a slightly smaller jelly roll pan, be sure to get in all the corners of the pan).

  • Step 2: Sift together cake flour and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, stir together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and baking soda. Add vinegar and stir. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix together cocoa and red food coloring. Set aside.

  • Step 3: Cream together shortening and sugar until fluffy. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk/egg mixture until all combined. Pour the red mixture in and beat until combined.

  • Step 4: Pour batter into prepared sheet cake pan spreading out the batter evenly in the pan.

  • Step 5: Bake for 20 minutes - watch this bakes quickly. Cool cake completely before frosting.
