This post has been sitting here waiting for me to post for awhile. One night while I was looking though my google reader, Matt noticed and picture and said I had to make this tonight. Well I read though the recipe and while it looked great, it was complex and it involved a layered cake something I have never tackled before. With some encouragement from my husband, we found our way to Publix to pick up the ingredients that we didn't have at home. Once we got home I set out some of the cheesecake ingredients to come to room temp. and said a prayer. Not only I was attempting a layered cake for the first time but also real cheesecake and homemade red velvet cake and homemade icing. Well you could use a box mix for the cake or icing. I was surprised with how much lighter and yummy the homemade cake tasted, so it was worth the effort to me. Now I don't want to scare anyone away from this, really nothing is that hard in the recipe just lots of steps and kinda time consuming. I found it worked out nicely to make the cheesecake the night before and then just make the cakes and icing the day of. Now I know this is getting long for me, but I had a major meltdown when trying to get the cheesecake out of the pan after it had chilled overnight. I didn't have a spring form pan so I decided to just make do with a cake pan, well it didn't go so well. When i flipped the pan over the cheesecake broke into a million pieces, but I managed to put it back together and all was fine.
I followed the recipe without any changes so I here is the link to where I found the recipe. As you can see it has been complied from many different sources. Erins food files has many other yummy things so check her out while you are there.
Here are a few pictures of my cake to share as well.....
