Ingredients

RED VELVET LAYER
Butter, for cake pan
Flour, for cake pan
1 box red velvet cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
CHEESECAKE LAYER
2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
2/3 c. sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 c. sour cream
1 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
WHIPPED LAYER
2 cups heavy cream
4 tbsps powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Steps

First, you want to make the cake by preheating the oven to 350.

Get a springform pan that’s abut 9 inches, and then flour it.

Put the batter in there and prepare it based on the instructions of the box, putting this into the cake pan.

Put it n the oven one it’s ready to heat up, and bake it for abut a half hour

Once done, remove this, and then us ea leveler to ensure that the top and the sides are even along with flat. Put this aside

For the cheesecake layer, first you want to get a bowl that’s large, and with a hang mixer, you want to beat the cream cheese. Make sure it’s got the paddle as an attachment

Put the sugar in there, further beating this so it becomes flush and combined, usually about 3 minutes or so

Put an egg in once at every time, until everything is beaten and combined.

Finally, add the salt, flour, and the vanilla, and then beat everything within that until it creates a fluffy mixture.

From there, put the batter into another springform pan that’s the same size, but don’t use the same one. Make sure the parchment paper lines this so that it’s able to be removed readily.

Bake this in the oven until there’s only a little bit of jiggle within the center, typically after an hour or so.

Let this cool a little bit on a cooling rack, and then put it in the freezer so that it firms up fully before you put this frosting over the cake layer. You might need to use a cake leveler once more in order to ensure that it’s got layers that are even.

While this sits, make your whipped frosting by putting everything into a bowl, and with a balloon whisk that’s large, whisk it all together for a few minutes until the peaks form up.

When it’s created peaks and you can it hold form, it’s then time to put it on the cake. Try to ensure it doesn’t get overwhisked

Put this over the cake on the cake, and then add more cheesecake layer as needed, layering each of these and checking this with a leveler.

You can then add a pastry tip to the decorators in order to ensure that there are dollops that are whipped along the edges of this.

Put some red velvet cake crumbs on top for serving.
