Special equipment:
a 10- to 15-cup Bundt pan

1. Prepare the swirl: Place cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla in a food processor. Blend until smooth; set aside.
2. Prepare the cake: Place oven rack in the lower third. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 10- to 15-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour, tapping out any excess. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sour cream, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, vinegar, and 1/4 cup water. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just blended.
3. Spread 3 cups of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Carefully pour in the cream cheese swirl mixture. Spoon the remaining cake batter evenly over the top. Bake until the top is cracked and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate and allow to cool completely, at least 2 hours.
4. Prepare the glaze: Combine cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour and spread over the cooled cake.
