Method
 

Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. This is your delicious cheesecake filling. Set it aside.
Prepare the Cake Batter
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, 1 1/4 cups sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 eggs, red food coloring, and vinegar.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Be careful not to over-mix.
Assemble the Cake Layers
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Pour half of the red velvet batter into the pan.
  3. Add the cheesecake filling on top of the batter, making sure it does not touch the sides of the pan.
  4. Pour the remaining red velvet batter over the cheesecake filling.
Bake and Cool
  1. Place the bundt cake pan in the preheated oven. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  3. Carefully transfer the cake to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze
  1. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. This glaze will add the perfect sweet touch to the cake.
