Description
A delicious layered chocolate cheesecake cake that is perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 batches chocolate cake
- 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup vanilla frosting (or any frosting of choice)
Instructions
- Prepare your chocolate cake as directed. Once it is baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease an 8-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until combined and smooth. Add the eggs in, one at a time, until combined. Finally, add the heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and lightly beat together until smooth. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes before removing from the oven and letting it cool completely. Once cool, refrigerate for a further 2 hours to firm up.
- After the cheesecake has chilled, start layering the cake. Place the first chocolate cake, followed by the cheesecake, and then the next layer of chocolate cake. Carefully add the frosting all over the top and refrigerate for at least an hour, to firm up.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- You may substitute the vanilla frosting with any frosting of your choice.
