Directions

- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vinegar until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the beet juice for a natural red color.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
