Tie-Dyed Red Velvet Cheesecake

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Red Velvet Cake Mix according to the box (if you cannot find any red velvet cake mix, just white cake mix and dye it red)

Pour 1/2 of cake mix into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake according to the directions on the box for a 9-inch layer cake. Discard extra batter. Allow cake layer to cool completely in the pan. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and almond extract until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add in sour cream. Divide mixture into 5 small bowls and add the following colors to each one: pink, yellow, blue, green and purple. Pour batters onto cake base in the 9-inch springform pan. Do not swirl too much, so the colors will be clearly visible.

Bake 35 minutes, until the center is just about set when you jiggle the pan.

Allow to cool completely and refrigerate before serving. Run a knife the cake to release it before removing sides of pan.
