Directions:
Directions:
(Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 if using dark pans)

-Prepare pans by using baking spray or grease and flour
-In a small bowl combine the cocoa powder and red food coloring; set aside
-Cream together sugar and shortening until fluffy and lighter, about 4 minutes
-While that is creaming sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a small bowl
-Add the flavorings and the eggs one at a time to the sugar and cream mixture, allowing each egg to completely incorporate before adding the next
-Now alternate adding the flour and buttermilk in 3 parts, beginning with the flour
-Add in the cocoa mixture and mix until there are no more streaks, all the batter should be the same color
-Pour into pans and bake 30-40 minutes, if you’re using 3 pans start checking around 25 minutes
-I try to get them out when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few crumbs sticking to it
-Allow to cool 10 minutes in the pans, then turn onto a cooling rack

Then prepare the cream cheese icing recipe in the book
