1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 2/3 cups softened unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
3 eggs
1 bottle (1 oz.) red food coloring
1 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside. Mix together in another bowl butter, sugar and buttermilk. Add eggs, food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, just until combined. Line 32 muffin cups with liners. Fill with mix. Bake at 350 on middle rack for 20-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool. Top with your favorite icing... Cream cheese icing is good on these!
