Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and sour cream.
  4. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix gently until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the batter with melted butter and a dash of vanilla extract to create the vanilla swirl.
  6. Layer red velvet batter and vanilla batter alternately into the bundt pan. Gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled pattern.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve with powdered sugar or cream cheese glaze.

Notes

To freeze, wrap individual slices and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. For a stunning presentation, drizzle with cream cheese glaze and top with berries.
