- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until just combined, then stir in the food coloring.

- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

- Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
