Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake

I initially wanted to make Tiramisu over this weekend but I found out that I was lacking in a lot of the required ingredients. So.. I made Choocolate Swirl Cheesecake!! The swirl did not turn out so well.. but overall, the taste was pretty good and the cake is moist and not too sweet. I would give it a go another time! :)




All packed and ready to go to friends!

Recipe from "Happy Home Baking"

Ingredients:
Cream Cheese Mixture
250g cream cheese (soften at room temperature)
60g castor sugar
1 egg

Chocolate Mixture
180g butter
150g caster sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoon cocoa powder
120g self-raising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

Method:

Preheat oven at 150°C.
Grease and line a 20cm round cake pan.
Cream Cheese Mixture - beat cream cheese with sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg gradually and beat until well incorporated. Set mixture aside.
Chocolate Mixture - Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well incorporated into mixture. Sieve all the dried ingredients together. Fold into the egg mixture.
Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the cake pan.
Pour all the cream cheese mixture and then the remaining chocolate mixture. Gently spread the chocolate mixture to cover all the cream cheese mixture.
Bake for 45-50 min or until skewer comes out clean. Cool completely and chill in the fridge before serving.


P.S. I personally prefer it served warm!
