Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10–12 cup Bundt pan thoroughly.
- Prepare cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; mix until creamy. Set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Add buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
- Assemble: Pour half of the red velvet batter into the Bundt pan. Spoon cream cheese filling evenly over the batter. Top with remaining batter and gently swirl with a knife.
- Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make glaze: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled cake before serving.
Notes
For clean slices, refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes before cutting. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest cream cheese filling.
