1 teaspoon baking soda

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons red food coloring

16 ounces cream cheese (for cheesecake and frosting)

½ cup sour cream

1 cup heavy cream (divided for frosting and ganache)

1 ½ cups powdered sugar

12 Oreo cookies (6 crushed, 6 whole for topping)

8 ounces white chocolate

½ teaspoon red gel food coloring

Instructions

1. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Bake in a springform pan at 325°F (160°C) for 40–45 minutes. Cool and chill for 4 hours or overnight.

2. Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs, vanilla, food coloring, buttermilk, and vinegar. Mix with flour, cocoa, baking soda. Divide into 2 pans and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes. Cool completely.

3. Beat cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.

4. Layer red velvet cake, frosting, cheesecake, more frosting, and final cake layer. Frost the outside smoothly.

5. Melt white chocolate with ¼ cup cream. Stir in red gel coloring and let cool slightly. Drip over the edges of the frosted cake.

6. Pipe swirls of frosting on top. Add whole Oreos and sprinkle red velvet crumbs for garnish.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake layer fully before assembling to avoid sliding.

Use gel food coloring for a vibrant red that won’t thin your batter.

Let the ganache cool before dripping to avoid melting the frosting.
