Ingredients

Cream Cheese Swirl

  • 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened (230 grams)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65 grams)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sour cream (21 grams)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream (21 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Cake:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan (160 grams)
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (175 grams)
  • 1 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (5 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream (85 grams)
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • ¾ teaspoons red gel food coloring
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water

For the glaze:

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened (56 grams)
  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar (30 grams)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (45 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Make the cream cheese filling first: Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, heavy cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Add egg and beat just until incorporated. Set aside.
  • Make the cake: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 6 inch Bundt pan with flour-added baking spray or grease with shortening and dust with flour.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a second bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sour cream, egg, food coloring, vanilla, vinegar and water.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  • Spread 1 ½ cups of the batter in the prepared pan. Carefully pour in the cream cheese mixture, then spoon the remaining cake batter evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the top is cracked, edges are slightly browned and cake pulls away from the pan. Transfer to a rack and let cool 20 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert onto a plate and let cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt and beat until smooth. Pipe or spread over the cake.
