This chocolate bundt cake with cheesecake filling is absolutely irresistible! It’s the perfect cake for chocolate lovers, with a delicious creamy cheesecake surprise hidden inside. The chocolate sponge is soft, moist and rich without being heavy, while the silky cheesecake layer adds a wonderful contrast in both flavour and texture. Finished with a glossy chocolate glaze, it’s a show-stopping cake that’s surprisingly easy to make.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for the chocolate bundt cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 65 g cocoa powder<\/li>\n
• 180 ml hot water<\/li>\n
• 170 g unsalted butter, at room temperature<\/li>\n
• 260 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 3 large eggs<\/li>\n
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
• 260 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 1\u00bd teaspoons bicarbonate of soda<\/li>\n
• \u00bd teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
• 170 g soured cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All ingredients, except the water, should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

  In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with the hot water until smooth and free of lumps. Set aside to cool slightly (it may still be warm when used).<\/p>\n

  In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and soured cream. Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda directly over the mixture. Add the cocoa mixture and gently fold everything together with a spatula, mixing only until combined.<\/p>\n

  Grease and flour a 2.2-litre Bundt tin (about 25 cm wide and 10 cm deep). Spoon just over half of the chocolate batter into the tin. Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling (see below) into the centre, making sure it does not touch the sides of the tin, so it remains completely enclosed by the cake. Cover with the remaining chocolate batter.<\/p>\n

  Bake at 175\u00b0C for about 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with the chocolate glaze.<\/p>\n

  Ingredients for the cheesecake filling:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • 250 g full-fat cream cheese (such as Philadelphia) or full-fat curd cheese, finely ground<\/li>\n
  • 50 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1 large egg<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All ingredients should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

    Place all the ingredients into a bowl and beat until smooth and well combined. Set aside until needed.<\/p>\n

    Ingredients for the chocolate glaze:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
    • 100 ml double cream<\/li>\n
    • 100 g dark chocolate, finely chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Heat the double cream until just below boiling. Remove from the heat, add the chopped chocolate and leave for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy, then leave to cool slightly until the glaze thickens a little before pouring over the cake.<\/p>\n

      Store the cake in an airtight cake container at room temperature.<\/p>\n

      Enjoy!<\/p>\n
