Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Grease two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

   Tip: To ensure easy cake removal, make sure to grease the pans thoroughly.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Use a gentle whisking motion to avoid lumps.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, oil, eggs, and food coloring. Whisk until smooth.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Be patient and mix until the batter is smooth.

   Melt the ruby chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

   Tip: Stir until smooth and glossy.

6. 6

   Fold the melted ruby chocolate into the cake batter until well combined.

   Tip: Use a rubber spatula to avoid overmixing.

7. 7

   Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
