Red Velvet Bundt Cake Ingredients

The ingredients you need for bundt cake can be found in the baking aisle and dairy aisle, or in your pantry and fridge already. To make this red velvet cake, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):

  • Betty Crocker Super Moist Delights Red Velvet Cake Mix: I have not tried with other brands of red velvet cake mix, but they should work just as well.
  • Sour cream: Using sour cream in baking makes cake richer and moister due to the extra fat content. It’s the secret ingredient!
  • Vegetable oil: You can use any flavor neutral oil. Make sure the oil is not expired – you will know just by smelling it. If oil has gone rancid, it will overwhelm the flavor of the cake and not be edible.
  • Eggs
  • Cream cheese
  • Sugar
  • Flour
  • Cream cheese frosting: You can use store bought or make your own.

How to Make Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Filling

I meant it when I said that this Red Velvet Cake recipe was easy! Read the instructions once over, then print it below, and then execute! 🙂

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare a bundt pan with non-stick spray. I like to use Baker’s Joy Non-Stick Baking Spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil and eggs and mix until well combined. Set aside. It should be red now!
  3. In a medium bowl, using either a stand or hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sugar and flour and mix until creamy. Set aside. This is  your filling.
  4. Pour half of the red velvet cake batter into the bottom of your pan. Then, either spoon the cream cheese filling around the center or you can use a piping bag to squeeze it more precisely into the center.
  5. Be sure to leave a border on the outside and inside edges of your cake. Pour the remaining batter over the top and spread around evenly.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes, before removing from the pan. Turn the pan over and cool the cake on a cooling rack until completely cooled. The cake should come out of the pan cleanly
  7. To frost the cake, simply remove the lid and foil from the frosting container, and microwave it for 10 seconds. Take it out and stir. Continue cooking for 5 seconds at a time, until desired consistency has been reached.
  8. Spoon the frosting over the top of your cake. Cut and enjoy!
