Combine sugars with melted butter, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix in oil and cocoa powder. Incorporate red food coloring. Fold in dry ingredients and vinegar. Optionally add white chocolate chips.

Notes
- I recommend weighing ingredients for accuracy and consistent results. Small measurement changes can impact texture significantly. Use a scale if possible for best results.
