Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Red Velvet Cake Base
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix plus eggs, oil, and water as directed on the box
Cheesecake Layer
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
Whipped Topping
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package directions.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 30–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely, level if needed, and chill.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt until fully combined.
  5. Line the springform pan sides with parchment paper. Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled cake layer.
  6. Bake for 55–60 minutes, until the center is just set. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  8. Spread or pipe the whipped topping over the fully chilled cheesecake. Garnish as desired, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

For clean slices, wipe the knife between cuts. This cheesecake can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated until serving.
