This Red Velvet Bundt Cake is just so darn pretty with its vivid colors, delicious cocoa flavor, and rich cream cheese frosting. And it tastes amazing too!
Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
Cream cheese glaze:
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 4-6 tablespoons heavy cream as needed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan and set aside
- In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, canola oil, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Add the red food coloring until desired color is reached.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined
- Add half the flour mixture, followed by half the buttermilk, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Repeat until all flour and buttermilk has been added to the batter
- Pour cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes
- Then invert onto wire rack to cool completely
- Once cool, prepare the cream cheese glaze by mixing together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Add additional heavy cream until the frosting is able to drip off a spoon in a steady stream.
- Carefully add the glaze to the top of the cooled cake, and gently guide it down the sides if necessary.
- Allow the cake to set for 20 minutes before slicing and serving
