Ingredients
Red Velvet Pound Cake:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 box (3.4 oz) chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 large eggs
Cream Cheese Icing:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 2/3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a fluted tube cake pan with non-stick baking spray with flour.
- Stir the cake mix, flour and pudding mix together in a mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, oil, water and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 15 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake for 38-44 minutes until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Sift the powdered sugar over the cream cheese, then add vanilla extract and milk and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a disposable pastry bag and pipe icing over top of the pound cake.
