Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan with butter and a dusting of flour.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl until fine and clump-free.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated cane sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Slowly incorporate the red gel coloring until the batter is a uniform, deep crimson color.
- Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour.
- Stir in the white distilled vinegar last.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing softened low-fat cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Add milk (1-2 tbsp) as needed to adjust the consistency to a pourable glaze.
- Apply the glaze to the cooled cake and chill for 1 hour to allow the glaze to set before serving.
