Preparation and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan and an 8-inch round pan with parchment paper and spray insides with non-stick spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and red food coloring, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Fold in baking soda and vinegar.
- Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cakes spring back when pressed. Cool on wire racks.
- Crush Oreos and beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in crushed Oreos, sugar, cornstarch, sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs until creamy.
- Fold in remaining Oreo crumbs into the filling. Pour cheesecake mixture over the cool red velvet base and layer with the second cake.
- Place in a water bath and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 90 minutes. Let cool gradually in the oven, then refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare the ganache by heating heavy cream, then pour over dark chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
- Pour ganache over cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Top with crumbled red velvet and cream cheese frosting if desired.
