Directions
- Prepare the Pans: Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until everything is evenly combined.
- Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until creamy. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cake: Divide the red velvet batter evenly between the pans. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture over the batter and swirl gently.
- Bake the Cake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Frost the Cake: Once cooled, frost with remaining cheesecake mixture or cream cheese frosting.
