Stir together the melted butter, white sugar, red coloring, and vanilla in a big bowl until the mix looks smooth.

Mix in each egg one after the other. Make sure the first one disappears into the batter before cracking in the next.

Sift the cocoa, salt, and flour straight into the wet mix. Gently fold until you don't see dry spots—don’t stir too much!
05 -
Spread the batter evenly in your pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out with slightly damp crumbs.
