Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Chocolate ganache or frosting for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Make the Chocolate Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Stir in boiling water until well combined.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth.
Bake the Cakes: Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into each prepared pan. Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the batter in both pans. Top with remaining chocolate cake batter.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Frost and Serve: Once cooled, frost with chocolate ganache or your favorite frosting, if desired. Slice and serve.
