Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your bundt pan by greasing it thoroughly with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla until creamy and smooth.
Baking
- Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared bundt pan. Then, spoon in the cream cheese filling and carefully top it off with the rest of the batter.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before gently transferring it to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, generously frost the cake with cream cheese frosting and prepare to serve.
