Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the 1 cup of dark chocolate (230g) until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup (230g) of softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the 1 tsp (4g) of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup (120g) of heavy whipping cream. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is well combined, light, and fluffy. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar and 1/2 cup (110g) of softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the 1 egg (50g) and 2 tbsp (27g) of olive oil, and beat until well incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the slightly cooled melted dark chocolate.
- Sift together the 1 cup (150g) of self-raising flour, 1 tbsp (16g) of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup (50g) of dry cocoa powder, and 1 tsp (5g) of baking soda into the wet mixture.
- Slowly add the 3/4 cup (180g) of milk while mixing, until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into the prepared 9-inch cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chocolate cake layer, spreading gently to form an even layer. Avoid mixing the two layers.
- Pour the remaining chocolate cake batter over the cheesecake layer and gently spread to cover completely.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your delicious cheesecake-stuffed chocolate cake. Enjoy it as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: For best results, make sure all your dairy ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the batter mix smoothly and produce a more consistent cake.
- Don’t overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Use a water bath: If you want to ensure that your cheesecake remains moist and doesn’t crack, bake the cake in a water bath. Place your cake pan in a larger roasting pan and fill with hot water so it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
- Cool gradually: Let the cake cool slowly. First, let it cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour before moving to room temperature. This will help prevent the top from cracking.
- Chill before serving: For the best texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This helps the flavors meld together and makes slicing easier.
Once your Cheesecake-stuffed Chocolate Cake has cooled, slice it up and serve to your delighted guests. The blend of smooth cheesecake and moist chocolate cake is sure to impress. Enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, although you might find that it disappears quickly!
