Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round springform pan. Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions or use a homemade recipe. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fluffy and free of lumps, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Carefully pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled red velvet cake in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for approximately 80 minutes, until the edges are set, but the center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Let it cool in the pan for about 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve topped with fresh strawberries and optionally whipped cream and mint leaves.
