Ingredients

Vanilla Cake

  • 210 g all purpose flour (1 ¾ c.)
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 85 g unsalted butter room temperature (¼ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 55 g vegetable oil (¼ c.)
  • 180 g granulated sugar (¾ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 170 g buttermilk room temperature (¾ c.)

Red Velvet Cake

  • 24 g cocoa powder (¼ c.)
  • 1 tsp. gel red food coloring

Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter and generously coat a 7 cup capacity bundt pan with sugar.

Vanilla Cake

  1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, oil, and sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add in both eggs and the vanilla. Beat for an additional minute.
  4. Add in half of the flour mixture and gently mix until no flour streaks remain. Then, gently mix in all of the buttermilk, followed by the remaining half of the flour mixture.

Red Velvet Cake

  1. Transfer 2 cups of the batter to a small bowl. Add the cocoa and red food coloring to the small bowl, and gently mix the ingredients together until the mixture is cohesive.
  2. Spread ⅓ of the vanilla batter into the bottom of the bundt pan, and top with ⅓ of the red velvet batter. Repeat until all of the batter has been used, then use a knife to swirl the batter around in the pan.
  3. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert the cake out on to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Once the cake has completely cooled to room temperature, generously frost it with the cream cheese frosting.
  2. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
