Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, cocoa powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared pan, then dollop the cream cheese mixture on top.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Pour the remaining red velvet batter over the top and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
