ingredients

2 ounces red food coloring
4 tablespoons cocoa powder (heaping)
¹⁄₂ cup shortening
1 ¹⁄₂ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda

directions

Preheat oven to 350°; prepare a 12-cup Bundt pan using butter and flour; set aside.
Combine cocoa and red food coloring in a bowl; let mixture stand.
In another bowl, cream the shortening and sugar thoroughly; add the eggs and combine.
Add in the buttermilk, salt, vanilla, and flour; beat thoroughly.
Beat in the vinegar and baking soda by hand; pour the batter into the pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cake springs back slightly when touched.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack or serving platter to cool thoroughly.
Topping options: a dusting of powdered sugar, or your favorite cream cheese frosting or vanilla glaze.
For Halloween: make real-looking blood for a gory touch—combine ½ cup corn syrup, 1 teaspoon red food coloring, and two drops blue food coloring; place in a glass container and shake vigorously; frost with vanilla frosting, then drizzle with fake blood, and add a butcher knife for effect; for the best appearance, use a light hand and practice caution because the mixture can stain.
