Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Cheesecake filling
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the red velvet batter into the bundt pan.
  2. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the batter, then top with the remaining red velvet batter.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and serve.

Notes

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, keep it in the fridge for about a week or freeze for up to three months. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Don’t overmix the batter after combining wet and dry ingredients.
