Add the vanilla extract, eggs – one at a time and beat really well.


Add the red food colour and mix really well.


Now add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternatively and mix them really well until well combined.


Now pour the batter equally in to the cake tins.


Bake it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake, as the cake will continue to cook as it cools.
