Sooooo.
Let's just say that I'm a genius. :) My special friend told me that he loves the red velvet and the cheesecake I bake. Why not combine the two? I thought to myself. And that night, in my head, I sorted that idea out and now, I present to you the reality :)
My first self invented recipe ever. :)
[ Baby, I hope you're proud :) ]
Refer to the cheesecake post, follow the instructions.
Scoop a cup of the batter and keep aside aside.
Add 1 tsp Red food Coloring + 1 tbsp cocoa powder + a dash of vinegar [ optional. vinegar is just to accentuate the red color] to the batter kept aside.
Layer tin with crust. [ This time around, I added a little bit of sugar and cocoa powder to the crust. And then I layered the bottom of the tin with the crust and put it in the oven for 10 mins at 175C, just to make sure it was nice and firm, if you're doing this, make sure the crust is completely cool before you add the batter]
First pour the red batter and then the non red batter. Take a spoon and swirl.
Bake in a water bath for an hour and 20 mins at 150C. Refrigerate. Cut. [ The water bath just sounds fancy, and when you say things like that, people actually take you seriously. It's nothing, just put some water in a baking tray and then put the cake tin onto the tray and done!]
TADAAAAAAAAAA.
