Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water (as directed on cake mix package)
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix red velvet cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  4. Beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix until fluffy.
  5. Place one layer of cooled cake on a serving plate, spread half of the cream cheese filling over it, then add the second layer and top with remaining filling.
  6. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and spread over the cheesecake; decorate if desired.

Notes

For the best flavor, ensure the cream cheese is softened and use high-quality vanilla extract.
