Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake has layers of red velvet cake and cheesecake with the most delicious cream cheese frosting on top. Life-in-the-Lofthouse.comOn my birthday, last Sunday, I got to lounge around in my pajamas all day and hang with my cute lil’ family. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I could not have been happier. 🙂 Since my work days and home life keep getting busier, I feel I hardly have time to cook and bake anymore. I hardly even have time to blog (as I’m sure you’ve noticed).

 

So with all the chaos lately, I decided my lazy birthday day would be perfect timing to bake a cake. I decided on a Red Velvet. I’m a big lover of Red Velvet anything, especially the Red Velvet Cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory! It is TO. DIE. FOR. It has layers of red velvet cake, and cheesecake, topped off with vanilla butter cream. I order it every single time we eat there, and always wish I could re-create it. Until now…

When my good friend Brandie, at The Country Cook, posted this recipe, I was so excited to try it! It was exactly what I was looking for. A short-cut, semi-homemade version of my beloved Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake.

It turned out AMAZING!
