Instructions
 

PREPARE THE CHEESECAKE LAYER

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉. Place a large roasting pan on the lower third rack of the oven. Place a kettle of water on the stove to boil.
  • Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper. Wrap a double layer of heavy duty foil around the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
  • In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the sugar and salt.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, whipping cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least an hour then freeze completely for 4 to 5 hours or overnight.

PREPARE THE CAKE LAYERS

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray two 9-inch round pans with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt. In a large bowl, beat the oil and sugar together.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla, and beat for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Combine vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl; add to the oil mixture with buttermilk and food coloring. Beat on medium-low speed.
  • Add dry ingredients, beat on medium-high, scraping down the sides. Divide batter between prepared pans.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 20 minutes.

PREPARE THE FROSTING

  • Combine cream cheese and butter in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Add marshmallow creme and mix until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and spreadable.

ASSEMBLE THE CAKE

  • Place one cake layer onto a cake plate. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer and trim to size.
  • Place the cheesecake layer on top of the first cake layer, then top with the second cake layer.

FROST THE CAKE

  • Apply a crumb coat layer and refrigerate for 30 minutes until set. Apply the second layer of frosting.
  • Spread frosting evenly across the top and down the sides of the cake.

Notes

You can bake the cheesecake without a water bath, but this may lead to cracking. If needed, shave off excess cheesecake to fit the cake layers. Store the cake in the refrigerator or freeze it as needed.
