Good Sunday everyone! We are enjoying the weekend with my sister and her family visiting from AZ, we are having a great time.
Here is that crazy chocolate cake from Easter we enjoyed. It is tall, sweet and delicious. It takes a little preparation, but trust me it’s well worth it. Chocolate cake, brownie and cheesecake layers make for a winning combo. For your next family party, try this baby on em’, it’s sure to be a huge hit! Enjoy!
Double Chocolate Cheesecake Layered Cake2 8 oz packages softened cream cheese
1/2 Cup sugar
2 eggs
1 brownie mix 9×13 inch size
1 chocolate cake mix
Favorite Chocolate Frosting Recipe, prepared (tripled)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cream cheese and sugar into a stand or electric mixer bowl. Beat until softened. Beat in the eggs until smooth. Pour into a wax paper lined and greased 9 inch springformpan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until middle is set and not jiggly. Remove and let cool completely. Refrigerate overnight or for 2-3 hours. Carefully remove sides and transfer to wax paper (I used a giant spatula to help, it’s ok if it breaks a little, just piece it together and freeze cheesecake for 30 minutes to firm).
2. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions and divide evenly into a wax paper lined and greased 9 inch cake pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center. Let cool completely then carefully turn over onto wax paper; set aside.
3. Prepare cake mix according to package directions and pour into 2 wax paper lined 9 inch cake pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center. Let cool completely then carefully turn over onto wax paper; set aside.
4. Place one of the chocolate cake layers onto a cake stand. Spread with a thin layer of chocolate frosting then layer with the brownie. Spread brownie with a thin layer of frosting then top with cheesecake layer. Spread with a thin layer of frosting then layer with remaining chocolate cake layer. Spread entire cake with remaining chocolate frosting. Chill until ready to serve.
WOW! That looks so delicious my mouth is watering… I’m going to have to give this one a try!
OMG, I am drooling, that cake looks amazing (BTW, I think you forgot an extra E in Cheesecake).
This looks devine… I plan on making this for a trip up to Sedona, AZ.

Mmmmmmnnn! I love chocolate and cheesecake. There is a bakery that makes the best choclate mousse cheesecake and my husband goes crazy for it. Belated happy Easter!

Look delicious.
Would you be willing to share your recipe for the chocolate frosting that you used?
Also, in the directions it says to pour the brownie mix into 2 pans, do you only end up using one of them in the cake?

Made this last night…WONDERFUL! I used a Chocolate/Peanut butter icing…by 11:00 this morning it was GONE (I had many friends and family help me eat it). Thank you for such a great site…I use it regularly!
That looks amazing! Mine would probably flop… LOL I’ve never been great at layered cakes
This is a fabulous cake Jenny, everything I love all rolled into one!!
WOW — that is spectacular!!!!

I would love to know what yummy Chocolate frosting recipe you used? I don’t want to ruin the cake with a so-so frosting
I am drooling. But having been done a similar road previously, I am putting raspberry filling above and below the cheesecake layer, rather than frosting. Scientific (ha!) analysis determined I would prefer it to frosting. But definitely dark chocolate frosting on the outside.
