- Prepare the Red Velvet Cake Layer: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, vinegar, red food coloring, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures until smooth. Pour into a greased baking pan and bake until set.

- Prepare the Oreo Crust and Topping: Crush Oreo cookies and mix with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Set aside some crushed Oreos for topping later.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled red velvet cake layer. Bake in a preheated oven, using a water bath if available to prevent cracking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooled, top cheesecake with whipped cream, whole Oreos, and additional crushed Oreos.
Notes
