Print Recipe

A decadent dessert combining rich chocolate cake layers with a creamy chocolate cheesecake filling, creating a moist and indulgent treat perfect for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 5 oz milk chocolate, melted
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray an 8.5-inch springform pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, and wrap in two layers of aluminum foil to prevent water leaks.
  2. Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until just combined. Add slightly beaten eggs and mix on low speed until combined. Fold in sour cream, then fold in melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8.5-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper, grease the paper, and flour the pans.
  4. In a bowl, stir together dry ingredients: sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil, and mix on medium speed for two minutes. Pour in boiling water and mix just to combine.
  5. Pour cake batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs. Remove from pans and cool on a rack.
  6. Place the cheesecake layer in the center of a serving plate. Top with one cooled chocolate cake layer, then add the cheesecake layer, and finish with the second cake layer. Frost and decorate as desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. The cake layers will be thin and moist. Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for easier slicing.
