- For the Red Velvet Cake:
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box red velvet cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- For the Cheesecake Swirl:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the red velvet cake batter according to the package directions, combining the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and 3 eggs. Once mixed, set this batter aside.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the cheesecake swirl by beating together the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the egg white. Continue beating until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps.
- Pour half of the red velvet cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the red velvet batter.
- Using a knife, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the red velvet batter to create a marbled effect.
- Pour the remaining red velvet cake batter over the swirled cream cheese layer, spreading it as evenly as possible.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This cake is delicious on its own or with a light cream cheese frosting.
