Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and water. Mix until smooth.

Pour half of the red velvet cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the red velvet batter, then top with the remaining red velvet cake batter.
