Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
-
Prepare the Bundt Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your Bundt pan to prevent sticking. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract. -
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and red food coloring. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. -
Create the Marble Effect
Divide the batter in half. Leave one half as the red velvet batter. For the chocolate portion, fold in a little extra cocoa powder for a darker chocolate swirl. Spoon alternating layers of red and chocolate batters into the prepared Bundt pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect, without overmixing. -
Bake the Cake
Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. -
Cool and Frost the Cake
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once fully cooled, drizzle cream cheese frosting over the top, letting it cascade down the sides for a beautiful presentation.
