Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch pan (or two 9-inch round pans) and line it with parchment paper, if desired.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla until just combined. Set the cheesecake mixture aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until the batter is smooth.
Pour the red velvet batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the top, then use a knife to gently swirl the two together, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the cake for 30 to 40 minutes (or 25 to 30 minutes for 9-inch rounds), until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Cake to cool completely before slicing or frosting (if you’re making layers).

Notes

To avoid a dense or dry cake, be sure not to overmix the batter. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Additionally, use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is accurately heated to the correct temperature.
