1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11” X 16” Jelly Roll baking pan with Pam or other baking spray with flour. Cut to shape a piece of parchment paper and position in middle of pan. Spray the parchment paper again with the baking spray. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar, beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Mix the chocolate cocoa and food coloring together. Add to sugar mixture and mix well. Then, add oil and water and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk and vanilla; set aside.
