Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
  • Whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, cocoa powder, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Stir in buttermilk.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and vinegar. Gradually add to the wet ingredients. Do not overmix.
  4. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and pour in red velvet batter. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Stir in vanilla and sour cream until creamy.
  6. Pour cheesecake mixture over cooled red velvet base. Bake at 325°F for 50–60 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  7. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with the door cracked for 1 hour. Then cool at room temperature.
  8. Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Spread strawberry pie filling over chilled cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
  10. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for best texture.
  • Make sure ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Let the cheesecake cool gradually to prevent cracking.
  • Refrigerate overnight for easier slicing and better flavor.
