Instructions

- Divide batter evenly between cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Set aside 1/4 cup vanilla frosting. Add red food coloring to remaining frosting.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Frost with red frosting.
- Place second cake layer on top and frost entire cake with remaining red frosting.

- Use a turntable for even frosting.
- Chill the cake for 30 minutes after frosting to help the icing set.
- Use Ziploc bags with a small corner cut off as makeshift piping bags if needed.
