Ingredients

Red Velvet Cake
  • 15.25 ounces red velvet cake mix 1 box
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup milk
No Bake Cheesecake
  • 12 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
Optional
  • Whipped Cream and raspberries for decorating

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10" springform pan.
  2. Combine dry cake mix, egg, oil and milk. Mix on medium 2 minutes or until smooth.
  3. Spread into prepared pan and bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake. If needed gently press the edges with a spatula to even and flatten out the cake. Cool completely.
  4. Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add in heavy cream and continue beating until thick and creamy and stiff peaks form.
  5. Run a butter knife around the edges of the red velvet cake to loosen it. Spread cheesecake mixture over the cooled red velvet cake. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Decorate as desired.

Notes

  • Be sure to follow the recipe below and do not follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix box!
  • Ensure that the cake layer is completely cooled or it will melt the cheesecake layer.
  • If you don’t have a springform pan, line a 9″ pan with parchment paper so it is easy to remove the cake and cut.
  • Once the cake layer is baked, gently press the edges with a spatula to even and flatten out the cake.
  • Be sure to refrigerate at least 4 hours. This cake freezes well and can be made ahead of time.
