Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Using a hand mixer set on medium, combine the butter, shortening, and sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and egg yolk, and mix until just combined.
- Add the vinegar, vanilla, and food coloring until well blended, and slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture.
