Ingredients You Need to Make Our Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Cake Recipe:

• Red velvet cake mix (we like to use Betty Crocker)
• Water
• Vegetable oil
• Eggs
• Cream cheese
• Sugar
• Egg white
• Butter
• Powdered sugar
• Vanilla extract

How To Make Our Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Cake Recipe:

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and preparing a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 

Then take the red velvet cake mix box and prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the packaging in a large mixing bowl and then set it aside. 

In another mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese, sugar, egg white, and beat it all together until it is well mixed and all the lumps are gone. 

Once you have the cake batter and cheesecake mix made, pour about half of the red velvet cake batter into the bottom of the prepared 9×13 inch pan and spread it out as evenly as you can. 

Then drop the cheesecake mix by spoonfuls across the pan and then use a knife to swirl it into the bottom layer of the red velvet cake mix. 

After you have the swirl layer set, pour the remaining cake batter over top and spread it out as evenly as you can. 

Now, place the cake into the oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and have it come out clean. 

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool down completely. 

While the cake cools down, put the frosting ingredients (softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract) into a large mixing bowl and slowly beat the frosting ingredients together. 

Making sure the cake is completely cooled down, spread the prepared cream cheese frosting over top of the cake and decorate it with any and all the cute Valentine’s Day sprinkles. 

Then serve the cake or store it in the fridge (if there are actually leftovers, haha).

To Make Our Cake Mix Recipe You Will Need:

1. 9×13 inch pan
2. Large mixing bowls (3 like THESE will work great!)
3. Spatula (3)
4. Knife

Can I Use Other Cake Mix?

For this recipe you definitely can use another type or brand of cake mix. It just depends on what you have and what flavors you are looking for. 

We love using the red velvet cake mix because it produces a great red color for Valentine’s day and is of course delicious!

Keep it Simple or Make it More Festive!

For pretty much all of our red velvet recipes, we love to pair the cake with cream cheese frosting. 

And while we kept the decorating of this cake simple with the white frosting and sprinkles, you don’t have to! 

You can always add in food coloring like red to turn the frosting pink while you are making it, or even make it all and divide it up and do multiple colors. That is completely up to you!

What Should the Swirl Layer Look Like?

If you are not exactly sure what we mean by swirl the cake, you can take a look at Gold Metal’s YouTube video on how to marble a cake.

While it won’t be exactly the same, it will be the same type of technique with the cake batter and cheesecake mix.

You don’t want to overmix it or you will lose the swirl effect.
