Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin with paper liners or cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a larger bowl, mix the granulated sugar and vegetable oil, then beat in the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool the minis for about five minutes in the pan, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
