In our humble opinion, if you make just one dessert for your lover, this should be it. After all, why choose one classic when you can have both in one bite? With layers of decadent red velvet cake and rich cheesecake, this is the ultimate two-in-one dessert when you just can’t decide what to serve. The best part? This dessert is adaptable to how much effort you want to put in: Make the red velvet cake from scratch if you prefer, or use a boxed mix—either way, this cake will taste just as incredible as it looks.


What is a red velvet cheesecake cake?

Exactly what it sounds like: part cheesecake, part red velvet cake.

The layers get sandwiched together and then frosted all over in a cream cheese frosting for an impressive layered dessert that’s truly got it all.


Do I need to make all three layers from scratch?

The cheesecake layer comes together quickly, with just cream cheese, sugar, egg, a little sour cream for tanginess, and vanilla. For the red velvet layers, you can make it from scratch with our super-easy red velvet cake recipe or use a boxed mix if you prefer.

Serving.

This cake looks stunning all on its own, but if you’re looking for a bit of extra decoration, use some cake crumbs as a festive garnish! While using your serrated knife to carefully shave off the rounded top of the cakes, save your scraps. When it’s time to decorate your cake, crumble them up and sprinkle on top of your frosted cake for the ultimate presentation.


Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake off the red velvet layers and cheesecake layer up to 2 days in advance. Let the red velvet cake layers cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. (Never store cake in the refrigerator or it will get dry and crumbly!) After the cheesecake bakes, you'll transfer it to the freezer to cool and firm up. If you want to make this ahead, leave it there—wrapped in plastic—and let thaw in the fridge for assembly.


Yields: 1 serving(s)

Prep Time: 30 mins

TotalL Time: 20 hrs 30 mins


Ingredients

For the Red Velvet Layers

  • Butter, for cake pans
  • All-purpose 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
  • 2/3 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 c. sour cream
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 2 1/4 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º and butter and flour two 9" cake pans. Prepare red velvet cake batter according to box instructions.

Step 2

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. Using a serrated knife, level out tops of the cake so they're flat (save scraps for decorating!).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour filling into prepared springform pan and bake until only slightly jiggly in the center, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then transfer to the freezer to cool completely and firm up before assembling.

Step 5

Make cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, then add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until combined.

Step 6

Assemble cake: On a cake platter, place one red velvet cake. Top with cheesecake layer, pressing down firmly, then top with second red velvet cake.

Step 7

Using an offset spatula, frost cake with cream cheese frosting.

Step 8

Garnish with red velvet cake crumbs before serving.
