Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat 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 another bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy for the filling.
  6. Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared Bundt pan, then spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining red velvet batter and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the cream cheese layer) comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best flavor and texture, serve the cake slightly chilled or at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze.
