2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 ounces red food coloring (be careful, I have a red hand!)
In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix and the ingredients listed above. Do not add the ingredients listed on the cake box. Check the box directions to see how long you need to mix the batter and then bake according to the directions on the box for the size pans you are using.
Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
