Ingredients

For the Bundt Cake

For the Frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4. Grease and flour an 8 or 9-inch bundt cake pan.
  • Whisk the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl until combined.
    Combining Red Velvet Cake Dry Ingredients
  • Whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate mixing bowl until combined. Add a few drops of red food coloring to achieve the desired shade of red.
    Combining Red Velvet Cake Wet Ingredients
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
    Combined Red Velvet Cake Batter
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, spreading it evenly.
    Pouring Red Velvet Cake Batter into Pan
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the baked cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To prepare the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl, beating well after each addition until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • When the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and sides.
  • Decorate with pink sugar sprinkles, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
