Equipment
- 10-inch bundt pan
- Hand Mixer
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 red velvet cake mix
- 3.4 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
For the Frosting
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pounds powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Spray cooking spray in a large bunt pan. Whisk all the cake ingredients together in a large bowl or in a stand mixer.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan. Remove cake from bundt pan by placing a plate upside down over the bundt pan. While holding the plate firmly on top of the bundt pan, flip both over so the cake comes out onto the plate. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 2 hours.
For the Frosting
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, combine cream cheese and butter until soft and fluffy using the paddle attachment. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Add powdered sugar a little bit at a time and mix until thick.
- Spoon the frosting into a Ziplock resealable gallon bag. Clip one bottom corner of the bag. Squeeze frosting out of the bag onto the cake in strips.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a 1/2 cup and then fill the rest with milk. Let sit for about 10 minutes and then add to the cake batter.
- It is best to frost this cake when it is cold so the frosting doesn't drip down the sides.
- Store leftovers in the fridge tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.
