Red Velvet Cheesecake
Report
This Red Velvet Cheesecake is delicious and always a favorite for any special occasion! The cheesecake filling is perfectly tangy and rich. Combining it with a layer of moist red velvet cake is a match made in heaven. I highly recommend making this for Christmas or Valentine's Day.

Instructions
Red Velvet Cake Layer:
- Preheat oven to 350º flour one springform 9" cake pan. Prepare red velvet cake batter according to box directions. Pour your batter in the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30 to 32 minutes.
- Let cool slightly in cake pan then remove, use a cake leveler to make sure the top is even and flat - set aside.
Cheesecake Layer:
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy and combined, 3 minutes.
- Add eggs, one a time, until combined. Mix in sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined.
- Pour filling onto cake pan and bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes. Only until slightly jiggly in the center,
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to the freezer to cool completely (for one hour) and firm up before assembling on top of the red velvet cake layer. Use a cake leveler again if needed/desired to achieve even layers.
Whipped Topping
- Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
- Using a large balloon whisk, whisk together the ingredients by hand for about five minutes or until soft peaks start to form.
- You'll know the whipped cream is ready when the cream has formed soft peaks and holds onto the whisk. Be careful not to overdo the whisking.
- Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake. Use a decorators pastry tip to create whipped dollops on the edge.
- Garnish with red velvet cake crumbs and serve.
