Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Strawberry preserves
  • Whipped cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined.
  • Divide the red velvet cake batter between the prepared springform pan and a separate 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Bake both pans for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled red velvet cake layer in the springform pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes or until it’s set and the edges look lightly golden.
  • Allow it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top it with fresh strawberries and drizzle with strawberry preserves. Optionally, pipe whipped cream around the edges for an extra touch.
  • Serve and enjoy!
