In the instructions you say to add the vanilla, but there is no vanilla in the ingredient list. Could you tell us how much vanilla please?

My guess would be a TSP!

I have just baked them and they taste delicious, however they didn't come out red??? just like chocolate- i did put lots of colouring, next time i will put less coco powder. Thank you ;-)

Also mix dry ingredients which I did then further read directions and see it says mix butter and sugar, but I already uses sugar so my fault but perhaps someone else will read this and catch that first.

That recipe calls for way too much cocoa powder, 3 tsps should suffice. Maybe it's a Chocolate Velvet Cake?
