Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 3 cups Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Red Food Coloring
  • 1 cup Buttermilk

For the Frosting:

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

For the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.  Make sure to get sections of the pan coated in the flour.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Then in a separate large bowl, beat together the oil, butter and sugar with a hand held or stand up mixer.  Then add in the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  • Then gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.  Be careful not to over mix the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan and gently tap the pan on the counter to get all of the air bubbles out. Then bake for 50-60 until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.  Then invert the cake onto a plate or wire rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

  • In a medium size bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
  • Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the frosting over the pound cake.
  • Then the cake is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store the leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
