Red Velvet Bundt Cake

===Ingredients===
*2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
*1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
*1 teaspoon baking soda
*3/4 teaspoon salt
*2 cups granulated sugar
*3/4 cup unsalted butter , room temperature
*1/3 cup oil , vegetable or canola oil
*3 large eggs
*2 large egg yolks
*1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
*1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
*1 ounce liquid red food coloring
*1 1/3 cups buttermilk
*1 1/2 cups chocolate chips , optional
====For the Cream Cheese Frosting:====
*12 ounces cream cheese , room temperature
*1/4 cup butter , room temperature (salted or unsalted)
*1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
*2 1/2 - 3 cups powdered sugar, to taste
===Instructions===
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bundt pan (see my tips above) and set aside. 
*To a mixing bowl add flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder and whisk well to combine. 
*In another bowl add the sugar and butter and cream together with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, 4-5 minutes. 
*Add oil and mix. Add eggs and yolks, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla, vinegar and red food coloring.
*Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add half of the buttermilk and stir to combine. Repeat, alternately adding the flour and then buttermilk, ending with flour. 
*Fold in chocolate chips, if using. 
*Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake in preheated oven for 40-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
*Cool in cake pan for 10 minutes and then invert onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely. 
====For the frosting:====
*Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth.  Add vanilla. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until frosting has the consistency and taste you desire. 
*Frosting can be made days in advance. Refrigerate in an airtight container, or freeze.
