Dark Chocolate Chunk Cream Cheese Cake
Description
The recipe begins with mixing all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to form the dry base. Melted butter and one egg are stirred in to create a moist cake mixture that is pressed into an 8x8 inch pan. Dark chocolate chunks are arranged evenly on top of the cake base. A separate mixture of softened cream cheese, an egg, vanilla, and powdered sugar is blended until smooth and poured over the chocolate layer, then spread to cover. Additional chopped chocolate is sprinkled on top for texture and chocolate intensity.
Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes results in a cake with a golden-brown top and a rich, creamy layer beneath. The dark chocolate pieces soften slightly but retain their shape, adding pockets of chocolate throughout. Cooling before serving allows layers to set, yielding slices that combine cakey crumb, creamy texture, and chocolate chunks.
This cake is a rich dessert suitable for chocolate lovers looking for a creamy cheesecake-like finish without a crust. The use of a popular dark chocolate brand adds familiar flavor and texture.

- Place approximately 24 of your DOVE Dark Chocolate Promises into the pan on top of the cake mixture (four rows of six works well in an 8x8 pan).
