Ingredients

Units Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (such as Oreos)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the red velvet layer:

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box—usually eggs, oil, and water)

For the cheesecake layer:

  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

For the topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam (warmed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix crushed cookies and melted butter until combined, then press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside.
  3. Prepare red velvet cake batter according to package directions. Pour half of the batter over the crust and spread evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until combined, then beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla and sour cream. Carefully spread the cheesecake mixture over the red velvet layer.
  5. Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading gently to cover.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. Before serving, arrange sliced strawberries on top. Brush with warmed strawberry jam for a glossy finish. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the cake mix.
  • You can also replace the strawberry topping with raspberries or a chocolate ganache drizzle.
