Bake the red velvet cake according to package directions. Let it cool completely, then cut into cubes.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
In a trifle dish or glass bowl, layer red velvet cake cubes, followed by a layer of the cheesecake mixture. Repeat layers until the dish is full.
Top with a final layer of whipped topping and garnish with cake crumbs or sprinkles if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Make sure the cake is completely cooled before layering to prevent melting the filling.
You can prepare the components a day in advance and assemble before serving.
Use a piping bag for a neater presentation of the cheesecake filling.
