Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 4 tsp red food coloring
- 2/3 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 10 Oreos (filling removed, wafers crushed)
- 24 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- Oreo filling (from above)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (or 3 tbsp all-purpose flour)
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 15 Oreos, chopped
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 can store-bought cream cheese frosting
- 8 Oreos, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan and an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and red food coloring until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk. Finally, add the baking soda and vinegar. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Blend 10 Oreo wafers into fine crumbs and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Oreo filling, sugar, and cornstarch (or flour) and mix until smooth.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix well. Incorporate the eggs and egg yolk, mixing until just combined. Fold in the Oreo crumbs and chopped Oreos.
- Place the cooled red velvet cake base in the bottom of the springform pan. Pour the cheesecake mixture over it.
- Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and create a water bath by adding hot water to the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- The center should be set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool gradually inside the oven with the door slightly open. Once cooled, refrigerate overnight.
- Microwave dark chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly.
- Crumble the reserved red velvet cake and press it onto the sides of the cheesecake. Decorate with cream cheese frosting and chopped Oreos.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling to prevent cracks.
