Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until creamy to form the cream cheese filling.
  6. Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter layer.
  8. Top with the remaining red velvet batter, smoothing the top.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the filling) comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, drizzle cream cheese glaze on top or garnish with fresh berries before serving.
