Red Velvet Cheesecake-Vanilla Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Red velvet cake is a staple on holiday tables across the South, and this is our favorite take on it: two layers of creamy red velvet cheesecake with moist vanilla cake in the middle, all blanketed in a cream cheese frosting. Don’t skip the crumb coat of frosting, which keeps the red velvet layer from showing through the frosting.
