Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients

Cake Layer

  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix Feel free to use a homemade recipe.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens both layers.
  • 3 large Eggs Binds ingredients together.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Melted before mixing.
  • 1 cup Water Follow package instructions.
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder Enhances the red velvet flavor.

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds moisture and tanginess.

  • 3 large Eggs Mix in one at a time.

Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and generously grease a springform pan with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy release.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and water. Stir until smooth, then pour half of this mixture into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • After baking, allow the cake layer to cool completely in the pan to prevent the cheesecake layer from melting.
  • In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing until light and fluffy. Then, mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  • Carefully incorporate eggs into the cheesecake mixture, adding them one at a time, avoiding overmixing.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled red velvet cake layer in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are firm, but the center remains slightly jiggly.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor development.

Notes

Optional: Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for a delightful presentation.
