Steps
Red Velvet Cheesecake Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour it. Set aside.
- To prepare the cake, add vegetable oil, eggs, Greek yoghurt, milk, vanilla extract, and vinegar and whisk until well combined.
- Next, add all of the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Add red food colouring, until desired colour.
- Pour half of cake batter into prepared bundt pan. Top evenly with cream cheese filling, leaving a 1-inch border around edge of pan. Top with remaining cake batter.
- Insert a butter knife into cake batter and lightly swirl cream cheese filling into cake. Do not swirl too much; you just need to swirl knife a couple of times through layers.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until centre is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely (in bundt pan) before inverting onto cake plate.
- Spoon icing onto the cake and spread around. Finish with your favourite sprinkles.
Cream Cheese Filling
- To prepare the cream cheese filling add cream cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy into a large mixing bowl and beat using a hand mixer for about 2 minutes to combine. Next, add the egg, flour, and vanilla and continue beating until smooth.
Cream Cheese Icing
- Beat powdered sugar, cream cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl for 2 minutes, until well combined.
