Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fill the donut pan with the batter about 2/3 full.
