Instructions
 

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Line 9 inch springform pan with a circle of parchment paper.
  • Grease sides.
  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add sour cream and vanilla.
  • Add egg whites.
  • Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl and add half.
  • Add the milk and water.
  • Add the rest of the dry ingredients.
  • Pour in pan and bake 18-20 minutes.
  • Cool.

Cheesecake Layer

  • Beat cream cheese, sugar and flour.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla.
  • Add eggs, one at a time and beat well.
  • Lower the oven to 300.
  • Remove the springform pan sides, clean them and dry them. Grease sides and reattach to the pan.
  • Make the chocolate layer by heating the cream and pouring it over the chocolate. Let sit and then whisk smooth. Add vanilla and let cool a bit. Pour it over the cake trying to keep it from the edges and mostly in center and around. Let sit a couple minutes.
  • Carefully pour on the cheesecake batter on top of the chocolate.
  • Place pan in a cheesecake moat and fill outer edges with water. (If you don't have a moat, place it in a larger pan, wrap the outside very well with foil and add water halfway up the sides.)
  • Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. The center should be set, but still jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the door closed for 30 minutes.
  • Crack the door of the oven open for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from water bath and chill overnight.
  • Top with pastry cream and drizzled chocolate!

Pastry Cream

  • Put egg yolks in a medium sized bowl and beat them.
  • Add sugar, cornstarch and milk to a large saucepan and mix until smooth.
  • Cook, while stirring, over medium-high until it thickens.
  • Lower heat and simmer 2 minutes.
  • Remove heat and add a little bit of milk mixture to the egg yolks. Whisk together.
  • Then add the egg mix to the milk so the eggs do not cook.
  • Bring back to a low boil for 2 minutes.
  • Off the heat, add butter and vanilla.
  • Stir smooth, then cover closely with plastic wrap and chill until cold.
