From a scrape of paper in an old cookbook I've had since the early 1960's. This used to be a cake that was made for very special occasions.
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 oz. red food color
2-1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cocoa
1 cup buttermilk
1 T. vinegar
1 tsp.baking soda
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs whole and beat until fluffy, add food color and beat until well blended. Sift flour, salt and cocoa together, add alternately with buttermilk. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla, mix and stir in last, the vinegar and baking soda. Just stir in, do not beat after this addition. Bake in 350 oven for 30 minutes in 2, 9" layer pans.
Reminds me of a red velvet cake!
