Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake was mentioned on 'Oprah' once, and I had to try it. My boys love it!

White frosting:
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tbs flour
1 teas vanilla extract
250 g butter

All ingredients should be taken out of fridge to warm.
Preheat oven to 180*C, prepare 2 cake tins (22 cm). In the bowl of a mixer cream together butter, sugar and eggs until fluffy.
Mix all wet ingredients (buttermilk, red colour, vanilla and vinegar), add to the bowl mixing for a minute more. Sift all dry ingredients (cocoa, flour, soda, salt) together and add to the bowl, folding carefully.
Pour into tins, and bake for 25 min. Let it cool.
