Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, egg, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  6. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  7. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and mix well.
  8. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  9. Stir in the vanilla extract and strawberry puree.
  10. Carefully spoon the cheesecake batter over the cooled red velvet cake layer in the springform pan.
  11. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed.
  12. Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  13. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  14. In a small bowl, toss sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  15. Once chilled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with macerated strawberries before serving.
  16. Slice and enjoy!
