Red Velvet Bundt Cake
My red velvet bundt cake has a velvety smooth texture, subtle cocoa flavor, and sweet cream cheese glaze. Its iconic bundt shape and bright red color make it the perfect showstopper for a Valentine's Day party!

Ingredients
Bundt Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Step 2
Grease a 10 cup bundt pan by brushing 1 tablespoon of softened butter all over with a pastry brush.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 4
In a large glass measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, yogurt, vanilla, vinegar, and red food gel. Set aside.
- Step 5
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the oil and beat on high speed until fully combined. Then, turn the mixer down to low speed and add the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the bowl to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
- Step 6
Alternate the dry ingredients with the buttermilk mixture in 3 additions, mixing until just combined. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
- Step 7
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing out the top with a rubber spatula.
- Step 8
Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Step 9
Allow the cake to cool for no more than 10 minutes in the pan, then immediately turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 10
In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use an electric hand mixer to beat on low speed until it forms a thick frosting-like consistency.
- Step 11
Add the heavy cream and mix until just combined. Heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds or so just to loosen it up.
- Step 12
Pour the glaze on top of the cooled cake and serve!
