Easy Moist Red Velvet Bundt Cake Recipes

RED VELVET BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F and set out your bundt pan but don't touch it just yet. For this recipe, you can use either a 10 cup or 12 cup bundt pan.
• Whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt) and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, butter, and sugar. You can do so by hand or with an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Mix for a good 1-2 minutes on medium speed until well combined.
• Whisk in your eggs and then the buttermilk, vanilla, and vinegar. Finally, mix in the food coloring.
• Add half of the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Then scrape down the bowl and mix in the other half. If mixing by hand, switch to a rubber spatula and fold in half of your dry ingredients until almost combined. Fold in the rest until smooth.
• Now, prepare your bundt pan. You can either use the sugar or flour method (both detailed in this blog post). The flour method is the quickest and easiest, so give your pan a light coat of an oil and flour nonstick spray (like Bakery's Joy) and then use a fine pastry brush to spread it around the entire pan, getting it into all the nooks and crannies.
• Then pour in your batter. If you're using a 12 cup bundt pan, you'll use all of the batter. If you're using a 10 cup bundt pan (like the one I used here), leave out about 1 cup of batter otherwise it will overflow when baked.
• Bake for 45 minutes if using a 10 cup pan, or 50-60 minutes if using a 12 cup pan.
• Let it rest for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack and let it sit for another 30 minutes to cool completely.
• Mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar, adding the milk as you go.
• Once smooth, mix in the vanilla. The consistency should be a bit thinner than craft glue (see image in post for reference). If it's too thick, add 1/2 tbsp of milk at a time until smoothed. If too thin, add 1 tbsp of powdered sugar at a time until thickened.
• Pour over your cooled bundt cake and serve! Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

CREAM CHEESE-RED VELVET BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 12-cup bundt cake pan well with baking spray with flour or soft butter and a dusting of flour.
• In large bowl, beat Cake ingredients until combined.
• In medium bowl, beat Filling ingredients until smooth and creamy.
• Spoon half of the cake batter evenly into pan. Spoon or pipe filling into center of cake batter in pan, leaving 1/2-inch border of batter on both inside and outside edges. Using offset spatula or butter knife, gently swirl batter and filling together. Spread remaining batter evenly over top. Place towel on counter, and gently but firmly tap bottom of pan on towel several times to release any pockets of air in batter.
• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean or with very few crumbs attached, and top of cake springs back when touched. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes before turning out onto rack to cool completely.
• In small bowl, beat 4 oz cream cheese and the softened butter together until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar in two stages, scraping bowl well after each addition. Beat in whipping cream 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. Pipe or spread over cooled cake.

SO MOIST RED VELVET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 10 inch cake pans.
• Beat the shortening and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Room-temperature eggs should be added one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the shortening mixture before adding the next. Mix the cocoa and red food coloring in a separate bowl and stir into the shortening mixture. Combine the flour and salt. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract. In another separate bowl, mix the vinegar and baking soda. Fold in the vinegar mixture while fizzing; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
• To make frosting: Cream together margarine and confectioner's sugar, then add vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy. Frost cooled cake and sprinkle with walnuts.
