- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan and an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until blended, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla, eggs, and red food coloring until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Fold in baking soda and vinegar.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in pans.
- Crush 20 Oreos and beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in crushed Oreos, sugar, cornstarch, sour cream, and eggs until creamy.
- Fold in 5 crushed Oreos into the cheesecake filling, then pour over cooled cake layers in the springform pan.
- Prepare a water bath and bake the cheesecake at 300°F (150°C) for about 90 minutes, then cool gradually in the oven.
- For ganache, heat heavy cream, pour over dark chocolate chips, stir until smooth, then cool slightly before pouring over the cheesecake.
- Decorate with crumbled red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting, serve with fresh berries or chocolate sauce.
