Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Frosting Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, using Crisco or a similar shortening for best results. Set the pan aside.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, water, mayonnaise, eggs, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. Using an electric mixer, mix on low speed until the ingredients are combined, then increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes to ensure a smooth batter.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
  4. Prepare Frosting: In a large bowl, add softened cream cheese and butter. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Once blended, increase speed to medium and beat for an additional 2 minutes to achieve a fluffy frosting.
  5. Frost the Cake: Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a standard plastic coupler. Once the Bundt cake is completely cooled, pipe decorative frosting onto the cake as desired.
  6. Serve and Store: Serve the cake immediately for best flavor and texture. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the sour cream and eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Greasing and flouring the Bundt pan thoroughly helps prevent the cake from sticking.
  • If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can spread the frosting with a knife or spatula.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • This cake can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 1 day, but refrigeration helps maintain freshness longer.
