I have wanted to try to make a red velvet cake for a long time and that is why I chose it for dessert Friday night.  I tried to make a red vlevet cake cake with my friend at one point in college and it came out good but this one was better.  The more I cook gluten-free the better I become.

2.  Grease and flour 13x9x2 in baking pan or 2 9 inch baking pans
3.  Beat butter and sugar into a large bowlk
4.  Add eggs and vanilla beating well
5.  In a small bowl stir together buttermilk and food coloring
6.  In a medium sized bowl stirl together flours, cocoa  and salt
7.  Alternativley add flour mixture, and coloring mixture to butter mixture
8.  Stir in baking soda and vinegar
9. Pour into prepared pan
10.  Bake for 30- 35 minutes or until done
11.  Cool Completely before frosting


Cream Cheese Frosting:

6 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
milk (if needed)
