Method
Prepare the Cheesecake Swirl:
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Set aside while preparing the cake batter.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, eggs, red food coloring, and vinegar until fully combined.
4. Make the Cake Batter:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well-mixed.
5. Layer the Bundt Pan:
- Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Pour one-third of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon half of the cheesecake mixture over the batter.
- Add another third of the batter, followed by the remaining cheesecake mixture.
- Finish with the final third of the batter, ensuring the cheesecake layer is fully covered.
6. Bake the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 38-43 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Adjust consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
8. Decorate the Cake:
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bundt cake.
- Add sprinkles for a festive touch if desired.
