Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, two eggs, and water. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Add in the sugar, vanilla extract, one egg, and flour. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  4. Pour half of the red velvet brownie mixture into the greased baking pan. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture over it and gently spread. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top, slightly swirling the mixtures together.
Baking
