Chocolate cheesecake cake – Take your favorite chocolate cake and cheesecake, then combine to create a divine treat for your next celebration. A layer of chocolate buttercream frosting and pretty raspberries makes this cake the ultimate indulgence.

Think about cheesecake sandwiched between two layers of chocolate cake. Sounds super delicious, I know. As Easter is fast approaching, all I want are plenty of chocolate eggs and desserts. Aren’t you looking forward to a wonderful day filled with chocolates, chocolates and more chocolates?

I totally love to whip up incredibly chocolatey desserts whenever time permits. So, to make your celebrations super awesome, I’ve an amazing cake recipe created just for you.And I’m really into this chocolate cheesecake cake recipe right now.

This cake brings you two of your favorite kinds of cakes – chocolate cake and cheesecake. Both cake and cheesecake layers taste amazingly delicious individually. But when you bring them together, this dessert will reach a whole new level of deliciousness.

To make this divine chocolate cake, we need to talk about my all-time favorite chocolate cake recipe. You know how much I love this chocolate cake. It’s moist and soft with a deep flavor of chocolate. So, we’re going to make this chocolate cake to form the two chocolate layers of this chocolate cheesecake cake.

Whenever I make layered cakes, I usually bake the layers separately. But in this case, I’m going to bake one cake, and cut it into equal halves to make the top and bottom layers. Easy!

Now the cheesecake layer of the cake. This is going to be a very basic cheesecake recipe. Nothing too fancy. Just beat cream cheese until soft, and add in sugar and vanilla extract. We’ll also beat in heavy whipping cream to form stiff peaks of fluffy white clouds.

Once you have your cheesecake and chocolate cake layers ready, it’s just a matter of arranging the layers and refrigerating until firm. I used a springform cake tin (the same cake tin I used to bake the cakes) for this purpose.

This cheesecake cake is just perfect without any additional touch of frosting. But for some reason, I just couldn’t stop there. I also made my favorite chocolate buttercream frosting to spread on the cake. I’m talking about the buttercream frosting I used to decorate my favorite chocolate cake (Get the recipe here).

Wait.

I want to make this cheesecake cake more indulgent and pretty. Hands up if you love raspberries. Chocolate and raspberries are match made in heaven. Decorate your beautiful cake with plenty of raspberries, or any berries of your choice.

Ok, scroll down, read the recipe, and make this cake as soon as possible. I just added this chocolate cheesecake cake to my “all-time favorites” list.
