Honeycomb Cheesecake Cake

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Make the Cake Layers:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
