Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Prepare batter for 1 cake mix as directed on package; pour into 2 greased and floured 8-inch round pans. Bake 28 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes 10 min. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
- Meanwhile, wash and dry cooled cake pans before greasing and flouring them for reuse. Prepare batter for second cake mix; blend in 1/2 tsp. food coloring. Pour into prepared pans. Bake and cool as directed for first 2 layers.
- Microwave unsweetened chocolate in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until completely melted, stirring every 30 sec. Cool 5 min. Add sugar, butter and vanilla. Gradually add milk, beating after addition until frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spoon 2 cups frosting into separate bowl; stir in remaining food coloring.
- Stack black cake layers alternately with red cake layers on serving plate, spreading about 2/3 cup black frosting between each layer.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of the chocolate frosting into resealable plastic bag; reserve for later use. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining chocolate frosting.
