Preheat the oven to 170°C ( 338°F). Place a baking paper on a oven size tray pan and set aside.
Dough:
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, cocoa powder and vanilla powder. In another bowl, whip together the butter and sugar until it becomes a white fluffy substance. Set aside.
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and eggs on a high speed until smooth and creamy, adding the eggs one by one.
In a small bowl mix together 2 tbsp from the mixture with the red food coloring and 1 tbsp buttermilk. Mix well and set aside.
With the mixer on a low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the tray pan and make smooth. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops of the cakes spring back when gently touched and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
However do not over bake otherwise your cake base may dry out. Remove from the oven and allow the cake base to cool in the pan set on a wire rack. Cool completely.
