Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
  • 2 cups cake flour, sifted
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 oz red food coloring
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in vanilla and vinegar. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Mix the buttermilk with red food coloring. Alternately add dry ingredients and colored buttermilk to the batter, mixing just until combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. While your cake cools, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating softened cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar, mixing in milk one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a pourable consistency, and stirring in vanilla extract.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cake before serving.
