Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
In a large bowl, whisk sugar and oil together, then add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, food coloring, coffee, and vinegar.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Frost with cream cheese frosting or desired frosting once fully cooled.
