Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F for a convection oven). Grease and flour two 9- by 2-inch round or three 8- by 1½-inch round baking pans.To make the batter: In a small bowl, gradually stir the food coloring into the cocoa until smooth. Add the vanilla.
- In a large bowl, beat the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Beat well after each addition.
- Blend in the cocoa mixture and salt.
- Add the flour alternately with the buttermilk (4 portions for the flour; 3 portions for the milk) beginning and ending with the flour. Overbeating produces a tough cake.
- Stir the vinegar into the baking soda. (It will foam.) Quickly fold it -- do not beat -- into the batter.
- Immediately divide the batter equally between the prepared pans and place in the oven.
- Bake until a wooden tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched, about 30 minutes for the 9-inch pans or about 25 minutes for the 8-inch pans. Do not overbake or it will be dry.
- Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then remove the cakes to wire racks and let cool completely, at least 1½ hours.For thinner layers, the 9-inch rounds can be cut in half horizontally using a serrated knife. The cakes can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or the freezer for up to 2 months. Refrigerating or freezing the layers makes it easier to frost them without tearing or cracking.
- To make the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the sugar and beat until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla.
- To assemble: For 2 thick layers, leave the 9-inch rounds as is - for 4 thinner layers, cut them horizontally in half. Place a cake layer on a serving plate, spread with a layer of frosting. (Note - for 4 layer cake you will need more frosting, an extra half recipe should be enough).
- Frost, then arrange the next cake layer on top.
- Continue the layering, then spread the top and sides with the remaining frosting. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

ANNA OLSON'S RED VELVET CAKE IS BEYOND DELICIOUS
Who doesn't love a good red velvet cake? Whether it has cream cheese or buttercream frosting, it's one of the most popular cakes out there today. We've got another delicious cake fact for you. Did you know that to qualify as a red velvet cake, ingredients must include cocoa powder, buttermilk, white vinegar and baking soda? The vibrant red colour is achieved when the combination of the above ingredients interact with each other, but sometimes it is enhanced with food colouring. To make this cake without food colouring, you can replace ¼ cup of the buttermilk with ⅓ cup of finely grated raw beets. Read on for the recipe!Related: Here is the Cake Anna Olson Bakes For Her Birthday - And Why You Should, Too!Watch and stream your favourite Food Network Canada shows anytime, live or on demand on STACKTV and the Global TV App. Visit the Where to Watch page for more information.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease two 8-inch square pans and line the pans with parchment so that it comes up the sides as well.
- Using electric beaters or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, then add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beating well after each addition, beat in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add this to the butter and sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour. Stir the white vinegar and food colour together and add this to the cake batter on low speed, but mixing until blended in. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans and spread to level.
- Bake the cakes for about 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans for 20 minutes, then turn them out to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the butter until fluffy, then beat in the cream cheese until well blended and smooth. Add the icing sugar in 2 additions, beating first on low speed and then increasing. Beat in the vanilla.
- To assemble the cake, place the first layer of cake on your platter or plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on the top. Top this with the second cake layer and frost the top and then the sides. Use your spatula to create any swirls or patterns you wish, then chill for at least 2 hours before slicing to serve. The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
MIMI'S RED VELVET CAKE
This is so pretty and good. I have served it with whipped cream on top of the slice and have not frosted the cake, although most people do. If you want to frost it please see Recipe #93537. This is pretty at Christmas time.

BLUE RIBBON RED VELVET CAKE
This two-layer beauty features a striking red interior. It calls for more baking cocoa than most red velvet cakes, making it extra chocolaty. Feel free to change the color of the food coloring to suit the occasion. I'm proud to say that this recipe won a blue ribbon in the holiday cake division at the 2006 Alaska State Fair. I think this award-winning red velvet cake recipe will be a winner in your house, too! -Cindi DeClue, Anchorage, Alaska
