Ingredients
  

For the Red Velvet Cake
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
For the Cheesecake Layer
  • 2 packages (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar. Mix well until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
Baking
  1. Grease your Bundt pan well. Pour half the red velvet batter into the pan, followed by the cheesecake layer, then top with the remaining red velvet batter.
  2. Bake for about 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Top with cream cheese frosting or serve plain as desired.

Notes

Buttermilk can be substituted with regular milk and vinegar. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Optional variations include adding chocolate chips or topping with ganache.
