– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For the Cheesecake Layer:
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Start by preparing the flourless chocolate cake layer. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
3. Stir in the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
5. Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly. Set aside.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the chocolate cake layer in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the chocolate batter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
9. Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.
10. Remove the cake from the oven and run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
11. When ready to serve, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice into portions and enjoy each decadent bite of this Flourless Chocolate Cake Cheesecake.
