Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of red velvet cake mix (or homemade recipe)
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Prepare the red velvet cake batter according to package instructions and pour it into the prepared pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour cheesecake mixture over the red velvet cake layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes or until set; check by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s done.
