      2    (1 oz) bottles red food
           - coloring

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Cold water
      1 tb Cornstarch
      2 c  Butter; softened
      2 ts Vanilla extract
  3 1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
 
  Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.
  
  Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7
  minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each
  addition. Beat in food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. In
  another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda
  and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with
  buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
  
  Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
  Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
  clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool layers 10 minutes before
  removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  Trim 1/4" off top of each cake layer; crumble trimmings
  onto a baking sheet. Let crumbs stand at room
  temperature while making frosting.
  
  For frosting, combine water and cornstarch in a small
  saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thickened and
  opaque, 2-3 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Beat
  butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in
  cornstarch mixture. Gradually add confectioners' sugar;
  beat until light and fluffy. Spread between layers and
  over top and side of cake. Press reserved cake crumbs
  into side of cake.
