- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
- 125g Plain Flour

| 2. | Beat the butter and sugar until light, pale and fluffy. |
| 3. | Mix together the eggs, buttermilk, red food colouring and vanilla. Add to the sugar mixture a little at a time. |
| 4. | Sift together the bicarb, flour and cocoa powder. Stir in the salt, then add into the mixture. If using a machine, do this but until just until blended. Don't over beat or you will beat out all the air you incorporated. |
