Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while greasing and lining a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl.
  3. Whisk together vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar in another bowl.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the red velvet batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  7. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  8. Stir in the pureed strawberries into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.
  9. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
  10. Once cooled, remove the cake from the springform pan and place it on a serving dish.
  11. Spread the strawberry cheesecake filling evenly over the top of the red velvet cake.
  12. Chill the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  13. Garnish the cheesecake with fresh strawberry halves and optional whipped cream before serving.
