Cream Cheese Chocolate Cake

Cream Cheese Chocolate Cake features a rich, moist chocolate cake layered with a smooth cream cheese filling. The batter combines butter, sugar, eggs, cream, cake flour, cocoa powder, and leavening to create a tender crumb, while the cream cheese layer adds tang and creamy texture to complement the chocolate. Optionally topped with chocolate chips, this cake offers a balanced sweet and tangy profile.

Ingredients

  • 1 tick butter unsalted
  • 2/3 cup caster sugar
  • 2 egg 2 oz each with shell, medium
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream or milk
  • 3/4 cup cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chip optional for topping
Cream Cheese Layer
  • 3.5 oz (100 grams) cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon egg beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornflour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat with a stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Whisk the eggs and whipping cream in a clean bowl. Slowly drizzle the mixture into the butter mixture, continuing to mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the sifted cake flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt using a spatula. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  3. To prepare the cream cheese filling, first soften the cream cheese at room temperature. Beat the softened cream cheese with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and corn flour, and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps. Set aside.
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the pan and shake it lightly to distribute it evenly. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the cake batter. Gently add the remaining cake batter on top of the cream cheese filling. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
  5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and bake the cake for 40 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch around the edges.
  6. Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes. Then, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack before serving.

Notes

  • This cream cheese chocolate cake can be served as a dessert or special occasion treat with a moist, layered texture.
