Ingredients

For the Red Velvet Cake Layer:

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

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan well, making sure to get into all the grooves.

2. Prepare Red Velvet Batter
Mix cake batter according to package directions. Set aside.

3. Make Cheesecake Layer
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

4. Layer the Cake
Pour half of the red velvet cake batter into the bundt pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the batter. Carefully spread the remaining cake batter on top, covering the cheesecake layer.

5. Bake
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting onto a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.

6. Optional Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake for extra sweetness and a beautiful finish.

7. Serve
Slice to reveal the stunning cheesecake swirl inside and enjoy!
