Ingredients

1x2x3x

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups sugar
• ½ cup Vegetable oil Or canola oil
• 4 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 4-5 tsp red food gel
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

 

• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside
  2 cups all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together cocoa, sugar and oil over medium speed. Beat in eggs one at a time and then beat in vanilla and red food gel.
  1 cup cocoa powder, 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup Vegetable oil, 4 eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, 4-5 tsp red food gel
• Over low speed add the flour mixture until just combined. Cover the mixing bowl and place in freezer for about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet. Pour powdered sugar into bowl.
