Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1.25 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1.75 cup all-purpose flour (219g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoon cream cheese (room temp)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- In a bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Now, combine the dry and wet ingredients.
- Separate the batter into two parts. In one part, add the cocoa powder and food coloring for the red velvet portion.
- In a lined loaf pan, alternate adding the two batters. When both batters are in the loaf pan, use a knife to gently swirl the batters.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before lifting it out of the loaf pan. Spread the icing on the loaf while it’s still hot or warm for easier spreading.
