Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg

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, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  6. Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then pour the remaining red velvet batter on top.
  8. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese into the batter for a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake 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 slicing.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle cream cheese glaze on top or serve with fresh berries and whipped cream.
