Steps

  1. 1

    Mix the kefir (or buttermilk) with the red gel food coloring.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, beat the softened butter with powdered sugar and salt.

  3. 3

    Add vanilla extract and vegetable oil, mix well.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  5. 5

    Add lemon juice or white vinegar.

  6. 6

    In a separate bowl, sift and mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder.

  7. 7

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix gently.

  8. 8

    Divide the batter into two cake pans about 18 cm (7 inches) in diameter.

  9. 9

    Cover the pans with foil and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 40–45 minutes.
    Bake the first 25 minutes under foil, then remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes.
