Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Sift the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil, egg yolks, water, peppermint extract and vanilla extract. Beat with mixer on low for 1 minute.
Beat egg whites with cream of tarter until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture.
Pour 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl and tint with the food coloring.
Alternate large spoonfuls of red and plain batter into an ungreased tube or bundt pan. Run a knife or spatula through the batter to make a swirled effect.
