I use an organic shortening, but you can use your favorite brand. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>sugar<\/strong> &#8211; Granulated sugar is used in this cake recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>eggs<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Use room temperature eggs for better mixing into the cake batter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>red food coloring <\/strong>&#8211; Use your favorite red food coloring in this recipe. You can find natural and organic red food coloring options, but red may fade during baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>cocoa powder <\/strong>&#8211; You&#8217;ll use a little cocoa powder in this recipe. Not enough to make the cake a chocolate cake, but enough to lend a bit of flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>flour<\/strong> &#8211; You can use all-purpose or cake flour in this recipe. [<a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/how-to-make-cake-flour\/\">How to Make Cake Flour<\/a>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>salt<\/strong> &#8211; Just a little salt helps to flavor the cake and balance the sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/homemade-vanilla-extract-recipe\/\">Vanilla Extract<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; I love to use my homemade vanilla extract for its<\/span> incredible flavor, but use your favorite pure vanilla extract. I don&#8217;t recommend using imitation vanilla flavoring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>baking soda<\/strong> &#8211; The baking soda reacts with the acid in the buttermilk and white vinegar in this cake recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/homemade-buttermilk-substitute-recipe\/\">buttermilk<\/a> &#8211; Not only does the buttermilk work with baking soda to help the cake rise, but it also adds flavor and tenderness to this cake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>distilled white vinegar<\/strong> &#8211; This vinegar works with the buttermilk and baking soda to help the cake rise.
