In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted and cooled butter, eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and vinegar until combined.
Add the red gel food coloring a little at a time until the mixture is slightly darker than your desired final color.
