Description

A luscious dessert combining the velvety richness of red velvet cake with a creamy strawberry cheesecake layer, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup 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 powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh strawberries, halved (for topping)
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  5. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
  6. Stir in the puréed strawberries, then whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and gently fold into the mixture.
  7. Once the red velvet layer is cool, spread the cheesecake mixture over the top.
  8. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

Notes

A clean toothpick test might not always indicate doneness; look for a firm center that bounces back slightly when pressed. You can substitute strawberries with raspberries or blueberries if needed.
