Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (312 g)
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar (350 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (15 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240 ml)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (240 ml)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel-based recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • For the Glossy Glaze:
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (180 g)
  • 3–4 tablespoons milk (45–60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan generously with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well for even distribution.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar until smooth and uniform in color.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or mixer on low speed to blend until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back lightly when touched. Avoid opening the oven door early.
  7. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then invert onto the rack and let cool completely before glazing.
  8. Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter in a small bowl. Adjust milk to achieve a pourable but thick consistency.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake using a spoon or piping bag. Let the glaze set with a glossy finish in about 10 minutes.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for smooth batter. Spoon and level flour when measuring to avoid dryness. Use gel-based red food coloring to keep batter thick and color vibrant. Chill batter if too thin. Drizzle glaze slowly from center outwards. Adjust glaze thickness with powdered sugar or milk. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free glaze, use almond milk instead of regular milk and coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
