Ingredients
- FOR THE RED VELVET LAYERS
- Butter, for cake pans
- Flour, for cake pans
- 1 box red velvet cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
- FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER
- 2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
- ⅔ c. sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ c. sour cream
- 1 tbsp. flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
- 2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 2¼ c. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º and butter and flour two 9" cake pans. Prepare red velvet cake batter according to box directions. Divide batter among prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 32 minutes. Let cool slightly in cake pans, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make cheesecake layer: Line a 9" springform pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray. 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. Add sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined.
- Pour filling into prepared pan and bake until only slightly jiggly in the center, 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then transfer to the freezer to cool completely and firm up before assembling.
- Make cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, then add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Assemble cake: On a cake platter, place one red velvet cake. Using a serrated knife, level out the top of the cake so it's flat (save scraps for decorating!). Top with cheesecake layer, pressing down firmly, then top with second red velvet cake.
- Using an offset spatula, frost cake with cream cheese frosting.
- Garnish with red velvet cake crumbs and serve.
