Cheesecake Stuffed Bundt Cake

Ingredients
  

Filling:

  • 8 ounces soft cream cheese
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons flour

Cake:

  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped (I used Ghirardelli)
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • 1 ¾ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 12 Tablespoons soft butter
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 5 eggs

Glaze:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a bundt pan with Pam w/flour.

Cheesecake Filling

  • Beat cream cheese and sugar.
  • Add egg, vanilla, and flour.
  • Beat well and leave to the side.

Cake

  • Place the cocoa and chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • Add the boiling water and cover for 5 mins.
  • Whisk smooth and cool down.
  • Once cool, whisk in the sour cream addition.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
  • Add one egg at a time.
  • Combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients alternating with the chocolate mixture.
  • Pour half in the pan.
  • Dollop the cream cheese along the center.
  • Top with more batter.
  • You can see my cream cheese is at bottom because I added more than half the batter to begin with. Next time, I will definitely add half so my cream cheese layer is a bit higher.
  • Bake approx 50 mins or until toothpick comes out almost clean.
  • A few crumbs on the pick is good!
  • Cool 10 mins and flip out. I then inverted it again.

Glaze

  • In a small pot, combine cream and corn syrup until hot.
  • Take off the heat and whisk in the chocolate until smooth.
  • Pour over the cake.
  • Let cool before cutting.
