Red Velvet Cake (gluten-free option)

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs (+2yolks from separating eggs for icing)

1 bottle of red food coloring (I wish I could come up with a healthier option!)

2 T cocoa

1 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour (King Arthurs measure for measure gluten free flour - use more)

1 tsp soda

1 tsp vinegar 

Cream butter, sugar and eggs. Make paste of food coloring and cocoa, then add to mixture. Add buttermilk with salt and vanilla alternatively with flour. Last, add soda and vinegar. Bake at 350 deg for 30 minutes in 2 - 9" greased/floured/papered pans. Cool and frost.

Some prefer cream cheese frosting. But I use 7-min icing.
