Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Christmas Red Velvet Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing and lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar using an electric mixer.
- Gently add the dry ingredient mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and combine until just mixed.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between your prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the pans from the oven and allow the layers to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes.
- After baking, leave the cheesecake inside the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour to cool.
- Assemble the cake by layering the red velvet and cheesecake, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Make the frosting by creaming together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
- Once chilled, frost the cheesecake and serve cold, garnished with fresh berries or festive sprinkles.
