Preparation

  1. First prepare the red velvet cake recipe by combining the ground flaxseed with hot water and whisk smooth.
  2. Let stand for at least 5 minutes to thicken to a paste.
  3. In a large bowl place the sifted flour, Baking Soda, Salt, and Cocoa Powder together.
  4. In another bowl combine all of the wet ingredients including the sugar and the red food color whisk smooth.
  5. Add the flax paste and then the dry ingredients and whisk smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased and parchment-lined cake pans and bake immediately at 350°F for 25 - 30 minutes or until springy to the touch when gently pressed in the centers or a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Once the red velvet cake is cooled take one layer and chop it up into 1/2" cubes, reserve them in the freezer or refrigerator to go into the cheesecake batter later.
  8. The other layer of cake will go into the refrigerator (wrapped well) until after the cheesecake is completely set and ready to assemble.
  9. Place all cheesecake ingredients (except the red velvet cubes) into a food processor and process until smooth.
  10. Fold the red velvet cubes in by hand so they don't break up too much.
  11. Optional red food color swirls into a small portion of the batter, depending on how pink you want your cake to be.
  12. Pour into a greased and parchment-lined cake pan and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour.
  13. After 1 hour turns the oven off and lets the cheesecake stay inside to cool down for another hour.
  14. Take out of the cooled oven and place it in the refrigerator to cool and set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  15. Once completely firm and set unmold the cake onto a platter or cardboard cake circle, remove the parchment paper and adhere to the red velvet cake layer onto the bottom. Sometimes a little vegan cream cheese icing helps as glue.
  16. Ice the top and sides with more vegan cream cheese icing then press the red velvet cake scraps that have been ground down to crumbs all over the top and sides, vegan white chocolate drizzle optional.
