Description

A delightful dessert combining rich chocolate cake and creamy orange cheesecake, perfect for celebrations or special treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup soured milk
  • 1 cup black coffee
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 oz orange liqueur (optional)
  • 1 1/2 pounds cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • Finely minced zest of 1 large orange
  • 4 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 3–4 tbsp milk
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all the cake ingredients (except the orange liqueur) and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
  2. Pour the batter into 2 greased and floured 10-inch cake pans.
  3. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cakes completely on wire racks.
  4. Poke holes in the cake layers with a fork and pour 1 oz of orange liqueur over each layer (optional). Let it soak in.
  5. In a mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and whipping cream.
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture into a parchment-lined 10-inch springform pan.
  8. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 50 minutes to an hour, or until the surface is no longer glossy.
  9. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan and cool completely in the pan.
  10. Once the cheesecake is cool, place one chocolate cake layer on top of the cheesecake in the springform pan.
  11. Invert the entire cake onto a serving plate, remove the springform pan and parchment paper, and add the second chocolate cake layer on top.
  12. Frost the cake with a thin layer of chocolate buttercream frosting and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  13. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and whipping cream together for the ganache, stirring constantly. Let it cool to lukewarm, then quickly pour it onto the center of the cake, spreading it over the top and sides.
  14. Garnish with sliced or supremed oranges for a vibrant finish!

Notes

Store leftover cake in the refrigerator. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. It should be good for about 3-4 days.
