-
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
-
1 cup vegetable oil
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup buttermilk
-
1 tbsp red food coloring
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp white vinegar
For the Cheesecake Layer
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 egg
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze (optional)
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
2–3 tbsp milk
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly.
-
Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla. Beat until creamy and set aside.
-
Prepare red velvet batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat sugar and oil. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until just combined. -
Assemble:
Pour half of the red velvet batter into the bundt pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top, avoiding edges. Gently spread the remaining batter over the cheesecake layer. -
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the red velvet part comes out clean.
-
Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Glaze (optional): Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
