10.58 oz granulated sugar, 5.64 oz avocado oil, 4.06 oz butter
Add the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla bean paste, white vinegar and the red food coloring (gel for me) to your preparation. Best until combined.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, together with the baking soda and salt. Add 1/2 of it to your preparation, beat until combined. Then fold the remaining of the dry ingredients, in order not to over work the batter.

BAKE!

Once your Vintage Red Velvet Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down completely in the mold. Then place it on your service platter.
