Ingredients You Need to Make Our Red Velvet Bundt Cake Recipe:

How To Make Our Red Velvet Bundt Cake Recipe:
Start making the cake by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Then in a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, instant pudding mix, sour cream, beaten eggs, and water all together until it is nice and smooth.
Once the cake batter has been made, pour in the white chocolate chips and fold them into the cake batter.
Now, spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour the cake batter into the bundt pan, lightly tapping it on the counter and even out the cake batter as much as possible.
After the oven is preheated, place the bundt pan in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and have it come out clean.
When the cake is cooked all the way through, pull it out of the oven and let the cake cool down completely for about 90 minutes before trying to flip the cake out onto a serving plate.
While the cake is baking, mix up the frosting by combining the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until it is nice and creamy.
Then, begin adding the powdered sugar and mix it all together. Continue adding in more powdered sugar until you ready your desired consistency.
After the cake has cooled down completely, either place the frosting in a piping bag with a large hole and create a drizzle effect over top of the bundt cake. Or you can use a spatula and spread it on top of the cake.
Then simply serve and enjoy your deliciously moist red velvet bundt cake.

How to Get the Cake Out of the Bundt Pan?
It comes down to using a good non-stick pan and then I love using Baker’s Joy – it’s a non-stick cooking spray that has flour in it! I have always had success getting my cakes out when I use it.
You can also make up a cake goop recipe. Yes, I know that doesn’t sound appealing, but you can make it with just a few ingredients and store it in an air-tight container and use it to grease your pans before baking a cake.
Sugar Geek Show has a great cake goop recipe also known as a homemade pan release recipe that you will love and make baking a cake just that much easier.
Secret Ingredient to Our Red Velvet Bundt Cake
The secret ingredient is a pudding mix! Just the mix itself, don’t prepare the pudding as directed but use the dry powder. It makes the cake so soft every time!
What is Red Velvet Made Of?
While many might think that red velvet cake is pretty much just vanilla cake with a couple of drops of red food coloring, there is a little bit more to it.
Red velvet cake also needs a little bit of cocoa powder, along with the buttermilk and vinegar flavors to make that exquisite red velvet flavor and texture in addition to the red food coloring.
