Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the pans by lining them with parchment paper and spritzing with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs, mixing until well-combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined, then add baking soda and vinegar.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the layers cool on wire racks.
- To make the cheesecake filling, crush the Oreos and beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in cornstarch and combined Oreos.
- Fold the crushed Oreo crumbs into the cheesecake mixture and pour over the cooled red velvet layers in the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath at 300°F (150°C) for about 90 minutes, until the edges are set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Gradually cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for an hour, then refrigerate overnight.
- Make the ganache by heating heavy cream and pouring over dark chocolate chips; stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, allowing it to drape down the edges, then decorate and serve chilled.
