Red Velvet Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze!

Yum
Whether is for a special someone, birthday party, or just for a simple get together. This cake is going to be the hit of the party. Sometimes I make it, just because I feel like it. If you are uncomfortable with food colouring, just omit the red dye. It doesn’t alter the taste of the cake. 🙂

I only got to know what red velvet was 2-3 years ago, that was also the time when I started to cook and bake more frequently. I remembered having my first red velvet cupcake… That moist velvety cake with a little hint of chocolate, and it was so nicely complimented by the sweet creamy cream cheese frosting with a touch of tardness. It was perfect!

Buttermilk was used to keep the cake moist, I’ve seen recipes that uses sour cream though. I wonder if it alters the taste. I’m glad the cake turned out well! My husband said he was jealous that I made it for my co-workers! Too bad for him!  ðŸ˜› It was a really well received cake, every last crumb was cleared in an hour, and I’m glad the teachers enjoyed it.

      Hi Diana, yup… it's fine to replace with other vinegar, replace with lemon juice, or omit all together if you do not have that ingredient since buttermilk is already thickened. 🙂
