Indulge in a rich and decadent Black Forest Cheesecake Cake, combining layers of moist chocolate cake and creamy cheesecake, topped with whipped cream and cherries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
  • 2 large eggs (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
  • Whipped topping (for layering and garnishing)
  • Glossy cherries (canned or fresh)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour your two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until everything is well mixed.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined, but don’t overdo it—it should be a bit lumpy.
  4. Bake the cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 30-35 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  5. Cool the cakes: Let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the cheesecake layer: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
  7. Bake the cheesecake layer: Pour the cheesecake mixture into a greased 8-inch round pan and bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until set in the center.
  8. Assemble the cake: Once everything is cooled, place one chocolate cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of cheesecake on top, then add the second chocolate cake. Top with whipped topping and garnish with cherries. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Let the assembled cake chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to enhance flavors.
