In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar and eggs until blended. Add buttermilk, mayonnaise, vanilla extract and food color and mix until smooth and uniform in color. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend until combined. Pour into the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool cake completely before frosting.
