A visually stunning and flavor-rich cake combining chocolate and tangy cream cheese frosting, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your bundt pan thoroughly with oil or butter. Dust with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil until combined, then add the eggs one at a time. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
- Slowly add the red food coloring, stirring until you achieve your desired shade of red.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack. Frost if desired.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure the cake remains light and fluffy. For variations, consider using healthier substitutes like Greek yogurt for buttermilk or coconut oil for vegetable oil.
