Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Divide the red velvet batter: pour half into the springform pan and the other half into a separate 9-inch round cake pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
- For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the red velvet layer in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the cheesecake is set. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To assemble, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with fresh strawberries and drizzle with strawberry preserves before serving.
