Time 1h40m

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, divided
1/2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon red gel food coloring
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly brush a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter; dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium; add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition and scraping down bowl as needed. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and vinegar. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk and starting and ending with flour mixture, until just combined. Add food coloring; beat until fully incorporated.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Tap pan on counter; smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes, tenting with foil if browning too quickly. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes, then turn cake out of pan onto rack and let cool completely. Cake can be stored, wrapped in plastic, at room temperature up to 2 days.
  • When ready to serve, beat cream cheese with confectioners' sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Spread with a spatula over top of cake. Slice and serve.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole buttermilk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°.
  • Spray a 12- to 15-cup fluted pan with nonstick baking spray with flour.

  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in vinegar and vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
  • Gradually add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.
  • Spoon half the batter into prepared pan.
  • Top evenly with cream cheese filling.
  • Spoon remaining batter over filling.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1hour and 15 minutes OR until a pick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from pan, and cook completely on a wire rack.
  • Garnish with powdered sugar, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Red velvet pound cake is a delicious, decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Be sure to try this recipe at home and enjoy the deliciousness!
