Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 large egg (for cheesecake filling)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 3–4 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
- To make the cheesecake layer, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Set this mixture aside.
- For the red velvet cake batter, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons red food coloring, and white vinegar until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just mixed.
- Pour half of the red velvet batter into the bundt pan, then spoon the cheesecake layer on top, being careful to avoid the edges. Finally, pour the remaining red velvet batter over the cheesecake layer.
- Bake the cake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To create the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon of red food coloring, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until it’s smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, slice it, and enjoy!
