Description

A delightful dessert that combines the classic flavors of red velvet cake with a creamy cheesecake layer, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1⁄2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, 2 eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Pour half to two-thirds of the red velvet cake batter into one of the prepared pans. Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the red velvet layer, spreading it evenly.
  7. Pour the remaining red velvet cake batter over the cheesecake layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. Avoid overmixing the batter for a light and fluffy cake. Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating it for better texture.
