RED VELVET CAKE:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, 

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
red food coloring gel, add till right shade of red
2 teaspoons vanilla

2 teaspoons white vinegar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees 
Grease and line  two 9-inch round metal baking pans with parchment and grease again.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add eggs, oil, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla and vinegar to the flour mixture. Beat until blended well. Divide into the pans and bake approx 30 minutes. Cool and then flip out. Freeze until ready to use.

CHEESECAKE:
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

I LIGHTLY BUTTERED A 9-INCH SPRINGFORM. WRAP IT IN FOIL AND PLACE IN A LARGER PAN FOR A WATER BATH. ONCE READY TO BAKE, FILL THE PAN WITH HOT WATER SO IT COMES 1 INCH UP THE SIDES OF THE PAN. PREHEAT 350.

BEAT 1 PACK OF CREAM CHEESE WITH 1/3 SUGAR & CORNSTARCH ON LOW 3 MINS. ADD THE REST OF THE CREAM CHEESE AND BLEND. TURN MIXER TO HIGH AND ADD THE REST OF THE SUGAR. ON MEDIUM, ADD THE EGGS, VANILLA AND HEAVY CREAM AND COMBINE JUST UNTIL BLENDED. BAKE 60-75 MINUTES. MINE TOOK 75MINS LAST TIME I MADE THIS AND 90 MINS THIS TIME SO CHECK CAREFULLY. COOL AND THEN CHILL FOR HOURS OR OVERNIGHT.


CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Two (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla

Beat all in an electric mixer until well combined.

Assembly: 
I wanted the red velvet layers thin, so I sliced each one in half. Use the cut parts to crumble and attach to the sides of the cake after frosting is on! Or, keep the layers thick if you prefer! Place one red velvet layer on a plate. Top with cheesecake layer. Place next red velvet on top. Frost entire cake and apply cake crumbs to sides. Chill and slice!

      Google cake water bath and you will find many explanations. You are putting the cake pan into a a larger pan filled with water that comes up 1″ on the cake pan. This method is used to keep cakes from “splitting”, so you have a nice smooth, even top to frost…not one with a big split or sometimes many little cracks. I hope this helps.

    What do you put on the bottom of the cheesecake. There’s no graham crackers? Do you just pour it in the pan just like that?

      The water bath is nothing to fear.
      Google the explanation. It will only make your cake look perfect. It will be worth it considering how much work you put into it.

    Getting the cheesecake off of springform bottom tray and onto the cake layer can be very daunting….I have made cakes like this before and can be quite intense putting it together…unless you have an easy way to put it together without the cheesecake cracking…would love to hear your technique…Thank you!!

      I usually chill the cheesecake in a pan until it is very firm, remove the springform sides and place an appropriate sized plate on the top of the cheesecake and then flip it over. I remove the bottom of the pan at this point and then flip it back over onto the serving plate. I am going to try to slide the cake layer onto the cheesecake before I flip it onto the serving tray.

      When i make my new york plain cheesecake.
      I make sure i cut out and line the springform pan with parchment paper.
      I used two big spatula’s to lift and slide the cake from the bottom of the pan carefully.
      And i always use heavy duty aluminum foil wrapped twice up the sides and bottom of springform pan. otherwise it’s soggy on the graham cracker crust.

    I am a dietetic technician. I would definitely give a SMALL piece to a diabetic. It’s all about portion control, not deprivation.

    I have made this cake many times….even increased it to 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of cheesecake for my daughters wedding cake…..making the cheese cake layer a little thinner than this recipe….and to solve the problem with removing/handling the cheesecake I freeze my cheesecake layer for a few hours…makes it much easier to handle and goes together like a dream!! I also use carrot cake too!! Yummy!!
