This Luscious Chocolate Layer Cake combines a rich chocolate base with a creamy cocoa-infused cheesecake layer, offering the perfect indulgent dessert for chocolate lovers. Its smooth texture and deep chocolate flavor make it ideal for special occasions or a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 200g chocolate cake crumbs
  • 150g melted dark chocolate

Filling

  • 300g cream cheese
  • 100g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 200ml heavy cream
  • 50g cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Mix the chocolate cake crumbs with melted dark chocolate until thoroughly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a cake pan to form an even base layer.
  2. Make the cream cheese mixture: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture.
  3. Whip and fold: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cocoa powder into the whipped cream, then carefully fold the cream mixture into the cream cheese batter to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Assemble and bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared chocolate base in the cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  5. Chill before serving: Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the flavors meld and the cake to firm up before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Do not overbake the cake to keep the creamy texture in the filling.
  • Store leftover cake refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 days.
  • You can garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
