Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake Recipe. A soft and moist cake, filled with a creamy cheesecake, and topped with whipped cream. Tasty and delicious!
Directions:
Cake:
- Line the bottom of 2 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the food coloring gel, cocoa powder, milk, and vinegar. Whisk to combine.
- Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda over the mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix the flour.
- Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside until completely cooled.
Cheesecake Filling:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, place the cream cheese (cold) and beat on medium-high speed until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream (cold). Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, place water and sprinkle powdered gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved. Let it stand for 2-3 minutes to bloom. The gelatin will absorb the water. Microwave it for 15 seconds to melt.
- With the mixer on low speed, pour the melted gelatin into the cream cheese mixture. Use the filling immediately before the gelatin starts to set.
Assembling:
- You can assemble the cake inside a cake ring or inside an acetate ring, made with a 31” (78cm) x 4” (10cm) strip.
- Place the first cake layer, spread the filling evenly, and cover with the second cake layer.
- Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight before unmolding.
Whipped Cream frosting:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the heavy whipping cream (cold), powdered milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
- Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat or the cream will turn buttery.
- Frost the cake using a piping tip (1M) and decorate with cake crumbs or red sprinkles.
Store the cake in the fridge for up to 3 days.
