CAKE
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 oz red food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar
- Preheat oven to 350ᵒF.
- Line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda to FourSide or WildSide+ jar and secure lid. Press “Pulse” 2-4 times to incorporate the ingredients. Dump into separate bowl and set aside.
- Add butter, oil, and sugar to jar and secure lid. Blend on a low speed for 20 seconds.

- Add remaining dry ingredients and secure lid. Blend on a low speed for 10-15 seconds or until dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour even amounts of cake batter into prepared cake pans and bake for 22-26 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely and prepare the icing.
- Cut off rounded top of one of the cakes and use that cake as the bottom layer.
- Using icing, spread 1/4-1/2 cup icing on bottom layer and stack the other cake on top to make two layers. Frost entire cake. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
