What exactly is Red Velvet Cake?
See, I don't think anyone can put their finger on what flavor red velvet cake is. It's in between chocolate and vanilla with a tangier taste. You get me? One things for sure, it's velvety texture comes from two super important ingredients: buttermilk and vinegar! It creates this awesome moist and fluffy texture that I absolutely adore!

Instructions
For the bundt cake
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the oil, butter, and sugar. Mix for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Beat in your eggs and then the buttermilk, vanilla, and vinegar. Finally, mix in the food coloring.
- Add half of the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Then scrape down the bowl and mix in the last half.
- Prepare your bundt pan by greasing it. Then pour in your batter.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes. Timing depends on the size bundt pan you're using (40-45 minutes if using a 10 cup pan or 45-55 minutes if using a 12 cup pan)
- Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack and let it sit for another 30-40 minutes to cool completely.
For the cream cheese glaze
- Beat the cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Add in vanilla, and powdered sugar and beat again.
- Pour in heavy cream or milk until desired consistency.
Tips
- Use a high quality, nonstick bundt cake pan with a simple design. Using a simple design will prevent your bundt cake from sticking in tough edges. High quality, non stick bundt pans will further prevent this situation from happening.
- Allow it to cool at least 7-10 minutes after baking before removing from the pan. This is because bundt cakes are usually best taken out of the pan when they are warm a couple minutes after coming out of the oven, otherwise the tend to stick to the pan.
