Description

This stunning Red Velvet Strawberry Cheesecake is a perfect blend of rich flavors, creamy textures, and vibrant colors, making it an impressive dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar (divided)
  • 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
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Strawberry preserves
  • Optional: Whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until smooth. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
  4. Divide the batter between the springform pan and another 9-inch cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
  5. For the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour this creamy mixture over the cooled red velvet layer.
  6. Bake cheesecake for 50-60 minutes until set. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve the best texture.
  7. Top with fresh strawberries and drizzle with strawberry preserves before serving. Optionally, add whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Consider adding a baking dish of water in the oven to help prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
