Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tbsp red food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp vinegar
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes.
While the cake is baking, prepare the cheesecake batter by beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the heavy cream until well combined.
Once the cakes are cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally to create layers.
Assemble the cake by spreading a layer of cheesecake filling between each layer of red velvet cake.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
You can add a layer of cream cheese frosting on top for extra flavor.
