Ingredients
For the Cake:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white vinegar
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Glaze (Optional):
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-12 cup Bundt pan.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and flour, and mix until combined. Set aside.
Make the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, oil, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Add dollops of the cream cheese filling, spreading it out evenly. Pour the remaining cake batter over the top, smoothing it out.
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Bundt cake.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and enjoy the rich, velvety texture and creamy filling!
