Instructions
Step 1
Start by sifting together the **all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder**, and **80 grams of sugar** in a large bowl. Ensure it is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the **egg** with the remaining **80 grams of sugar** until it reaches a light and fluffy texture. Gradually add the **milk**, **vegetable oil**, and the whipped egg mixture to the dry ingredients.
Mix at medium speed until just combined, about one minute. Finally, incorporate the **boiling water** into the mixture and beat at high speed for one more minute. Pour the batter into a **16 cm baking pan**.
Bake in a preheated oven at **170°C (340°F)** for **35-45 minutes** or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool before wrapping in plastic wrap and refrigerating for **5-6 hours**. Once chilled, slice the biscuit into two layers, trimming the tops if necessary.
Step 2
Make sure all the ingredients for the cheesecake are at **room temperature** for better mixing. Preheat your oven to **110°C (230°F)**.
In a mixing bowl, combine the **cream cheese**, **egg**, and **sugar** until well blended. Take another bowl and add **heavy cream** along with a few drops of **vanilla extract**. Gently fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
Next, melt the **dark chocolate** in the microwave and fold it into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring that the chocolate is not fully incorporated for a marbled effect.
Wrap the **16 cm cake ring** with foil, place it on a baking sheet, and pour the cheesecake mixture inside. Bake for **50-60 minutes** until the cheesecake has a slight jiggle in the center, similar to a pudding. After baking, turn off the oven and let it cool slightly with the door ajar. Refrigerate it for **at least 6 hours** before serving.

Variations
Gluten-Free Version: Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix. This way, those with gluten sensitivities can also enjoy every bite of this lush dessert! 🌾🚫
Vegan Version: Replace the egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water). You can use non-dairy cream cheese and coconut cream instead of regular cream for the cheesecake layer. Delicious and friendly for all lifestyles! 🌱💚
Faq
- What if my cake sinks in the middle?
It may not have baked long enough. Make sure to test doneness using a toothpick, and be cautious not to open the oven door too early!
- Can I use different types of chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with milk chocolate or white chocolate, but remember it will alter the final flavor!
- How do I get a smooth cheesecake texture?
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to cracks!
- Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes! Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight for the best results!
- Is it normal for cheesecake to wobble slightly?
Yes! A slight wobble is fine, as it will set up as it cools. Just avoid overbaking and you’ll be golden!
- What toppings pair well with this cake?
Fresh fruits, chocolate ganache, or even a caramel drizzle will elevate your cheesecake. Get creative!
