Red Velvet Cake + Cheesecake

We all know that desserts are the BEST, and we love sharing with you all of our favorite tried and true concoctions, especially as they concern the sweet side. Today, we wanted to share with you a new recipe for Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake, which combines two of our favorite things – red velvet cake + cheesecake.

This recipe is so easy and so flavorful that we know you’ll love it. With dollops of cream cheese/cheesecake goodness swirled through out this cake, it makes for a simple yet delicious cake to make for holidays and get together.

How to Make a Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake

This cake really is very simple. We have a Red Velvet Poke Cake that is more homemade, but this recipe has a short cut by using a box mix.

To make this cake, you will just follow the directions on the back of your cake mix and set aside.

You will also make the cheesecake layer by mixing cream cheese, sugar and an egg white until well blended. Once you pour half the red velvet batter into a greased pan, you will take spoonfuls of this cream cheese mixture and drop it over the batter. Use a spoon to swirl this all over the batter.

Then you will pour the other half of the cake batter over that and bake for 35-40 minutes. Let cool before frosting.

How to store red velvet cheesecake cake?

This cake is stored best when covered and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. With the cheesecake layer and cream cheese frosting, we do not recommend letting this stay out on the counter.

Can you use canned frosting for this recipe?

Yes, you can – but when in doubt, we always recommend going homemade. The homemade cream cheese frosting we made to go with this cake takes just a few minutes to put together and is literally the icing on the cake. It’s delish!

The Cheesecake layer is probably the best part about the whole cake!! My hubby would probably agree although he said the homemade cream cheese frosting was divine. I would have to agree – so yummy. 🙂
