Ingredients
2 cups Oreo crumbs
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tbsp red food coloring
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter, press firmly into the pan, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Sift dry cake ingredients, cream butter and sugar, then mix in wet ingredients to form a smooth batter.
Pour base batter into the pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then fold in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream to create the cheesecake layer.
Pour cheesecake mixture over the cooled cake base and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the edges are set.
Cool the cheesecake slowly in the oven with the door cracked, then chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overmix the cheesecake batter to prevent cracking. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
