Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Beat on HIGH speed for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the vanilla and milk.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

2. Add to the wet ingredients bowl.
Preparing Red Velvet Batter
1. Remove half of the batter to a separate bowl and add in the additional milk, cocoa powder, and red food coloring.
2. Mix just until combined.
Prepare the batters
1. Alternating between the two batters, add the cake batter to the prepared loaf pan.
2. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl the batters together.
Baking
1. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
2. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Finishing Touches
1. Dust with powdered sugar or add a glaze to enjoy.
