Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. Blend the mixture until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  2. Pour the red velvet cake batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and mix, then incorporate eggs one at a time.
  4. Crush the Oreo cookies and mix with melted butter to form a crust. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled red velvet cake layer in the springform pan.
  6. Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (160°C) for 50–60 minutes. Let it cool in the oven for about an hour.
  7. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours or overnight to set it properly.
  8. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve with garnishes if desired.
