[Deutsche Version] Tomorrow is the great day – the day of the lovers is approaching quickly: Valentine’s Day! To be honest – you could also call it the day of the florists and greeting cards industry :P I am totally fine with this day – normally I have a little surprise for my better half at home, but since there are more singles than actual couples here in Berlin, I think we should celebrate another special day: Galentine’s Day! :)
Some of you might think now – WTF?! Galentine’s Day? What kind of holiday is that? Did I miss something? Well… for all those not in a relationship right now, this is the day to celebrate friendship! (Gal + Valentines= Galentines) Of course all Valentine’s Day love birds are more than welcome to celebrate with their friends as well – we don’t want to exclude anybody! ;)
Happy Galentine’s Day!
Galentine’s Day was/is mostly for female friends as the name implies, but I think we can easily extend that to male friends as well – all should be welcome! All should celebrate the love between friends and friendship. If lovers can do something like that with a special day – all others should be able to do the same. Probably even better :P
If you are one of those love birds looking for a nice cake for Valentine’s Day, this one here is also good for you! Red Velvet is always a good idea for Valentine’s Day – add some more heart as decoration and you are good to go ;)

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Start with the cream cheese filling by mixing the cream cheese with sugar, egg, vanilla extract and flour until well combined. Set aside.
3. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder to a small bowl and mix. Set aside. Add the oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract and vinegar to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add some red food color and mix in – add more until you get the desired color intensity. You need quite a lot. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix until just combined.
4. Fill the bundt pan about 1/3 full with the cake batter, pour the cream cheese filling on top (try to keep it in the middle, so there is batter left and right) and finish with the remaining cake batter. The cream cheese filling is ideally inside the cake, but if it’s all over the place – also fine ;) Place in the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the bundt pan for about 30-40 minutes, then remove carefully and place on a wire rack to cool down completely.
5. For the glaze mix the confectioner’s sugar with vanilla extract and heavy cream until you get a glaze that is not too runny. If you like mix half of the glaze with some red food color to get red and white glaze. Pour over the cake and let dry a bit before serving.
2. Als erstes die Käsekuchenfüllung zubereiten und dazu den Frischkäse mit dem Zucker, Ei, Vanille Extrakt und Mehl verrühren, bis alles gut vermengt ist. Zur Seite stellen.
3. Das Mehl für den Kuchenteig mit dem Zucker, Natron, Salz und Kakaopulver in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen. In einer großen Schüssel das Pflanzenöl mit der Buttermilch, Eiern, Vanille Extrakt und dem Weißweinessig verrühren. Etwas Lebensmittelfarbe zugeben und unterrühren – je nach gewüschter Intensität mehr Farbe zugeben (für eine intensive Färbung braucht man allerings eine ganze Menge). Die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren.
4. Den Teig in die Form füllen, bis diese zu etwa 1/3 gefüllt ist, dann die Käsekuchenfüllung darauf verteilen – nach Möglichkeit mit der Füllung in der Mitte bleiben, damit rechts und links Kuchenteig bleibt. Den restlichen Teig darauf verteilen und die Füllung damit abdecken. Sollte das nicht klappen und die Füllung überall rauslaufen – auch nicht schlimm. In den Ofen stellen und für 55-65 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Den Kuchen aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst für 30-40 Minuten in der Form abkühlen lassen, dann herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.
5. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker mit Vanille Extrakt und Sahne verrühren, bis eine dickflüssige Masse entsteht. Wer möchte, kann die Hälfte der Glasur noch mit roter Lebensmittelfarbe einfärben. Den Kuchen damit dekorieren und dann bis zum Servieren noch etwas antrocknen lassen.
