Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 (8 oz / 226g) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for strawberry glaze)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Whipped cream (for decoration)
  • Optional: blueberries or other berries
  • Fresh strawberries (for decoration)
  • 1 large egg (for cake layers)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tsp red gel food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for cake layers)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (for cake layers)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pans.
  6. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well.
  7. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Pour the cheesecake batter into a greased and parchment-lined 8-inch (20cm) springform pan.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. In a small saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices.
  10. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the strawberries and cook until the glaze thickens. Let cool.
  11. Assemble the cake by placing one red velvet cake layer on a serving plate.
  12. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting (optional) on top, then carefully place the chilled cheesecake layer on top.
  13. Add the second red velvet cake layer on top of the cheesecake and spread the cooled strawberry glaze over the top.
  14. Serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream and extra strawberries.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother texture. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor in the glaze.
