- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, break in the eggs and add the buttermilk. Beat them together using an electric blender at high speed until they are well mixed.
- Add the sugar to the mix and beat some more to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the white vinegar, red food coloring and vanilla essence to the mix and beat well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat the mix well so that there are no clumps present in the mix.
- Pour the prepared batter in the greased Bundt pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let the red velvet cake cool on a wire rack for about an hour before applying frosting.

While the cake cools you can prepare the frosting using:

- 1 cup of cream cheese frosting

- Decorate with sliced strawberries or chopped walnuts.
