- 1 (1-ounce) bottle red food coloring

Instructions
Making a red velvet wedding cake from scratch is easy to do with the right ingredients and instructions. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing and flouring three 9-inch round cake pans. Set the pans aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder and mix until fully combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time and mix until fully combined. Next, add the sour cream, vanilla, and buttermilk and mix until fully combined.
In a small bowl, mix together the red food coloring and vinegar. Then, add the red food coloring mixture to the cake batter and mix until fully combined. Divide the batter evenly among the three cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cakes onto a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
Frosting
To make the frosting, cream together 1 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder until light and fluffy. Then, add 4 cups of powdered sugar and mix until fully combined. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
Once the cakes have cooled completely, spread the frosting between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with sprinkles and serve.
