To make these Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Red Velvet Layer:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring

For the Cheesecake Layer:

- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and red food coloring, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
Spread the red velvet batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, and set aside. In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the red velvet layer, and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing into bars. These Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars are rich, creamy, and have the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. They are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
