Steps:

• Prepare the chocolate cake layer first. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9-inch spring form pan with parchment paper and spray sides with non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy. Pour in the milk. In separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Using a sifter, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined; do not over mix!
• Bake cake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove cake from spring form pan and cool completely. Once cooled, split the cake layer in half using a long, serrated knife; set aside.
• Prepare the cheesecake filling: place the cream cheese into a stand mixer bowl and beat the cream cheese for 8 to 10 minutes until cream cheese is very light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl often to get all the cream cheese mixed!
• Add the sour cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Continue to mix for a few minutes until ingredients are well mixed.
• Place the two different chocolates into separate bowls. Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate until smooth; set aside.
• Prepare the gelatin: dissolve the gelatin in a small bowl. Heat the gelatin in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds, until gelatin is smooth and melted. If using sheet gelatin, allow the gelatin to bloom for at least 5 minutes.
• Next, temper the gelatin: add about 1 cup of the cheesecake filling to the gelatine and whisk until well-combined. Then add the tempered gelatine into the remaining cheesecake filling. Mix on high speed for a few minutes and scrap down sides of bowl often.
• Working quickly, divide the cheesecake filling between the two bowls of melted chocolate. Using a spatula, fold the chocolate and filling together.
• Next, assemble the cake. Use the same spring form pan used for the cake layer. Drop one chocolate cake layer into the pan and drizzle a generous amount of chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the top; can also add chopped chocolate or chocolate covered caramel bits. Add the dark chocolate cheesecake filling and spread evenly to the edges.
• Top with second cake layer and repeat the process. Smooth the top of the cake with an off-set spatula that has been warmed under hot water. Set cake into refrigerator to set for about 4 hours, or overnight.
• To release the cake from the spring form pan, run a flat spatula along the edges. To garnish the cake, melt 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips and transfer the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag; drizzle over the top.
• Keep cake refrigerated and covered to avoid drying; remove about 30 minutes prior to serving.

CHOCOLATE TUXEDO CAKE

Steps:

• White Cheesecake Layer:
• Beat cream cheese with confectioners sugar until smooth. Blend in sour cream, vanilla extract and white chocolate.
• Stir the gelatin into the cold water in a small saucepan and allow mixture to stand several minutes to soften. Then heat mixture gently over a low setting until thoroughly dissolved. Cool briefly, then blend into the cream cheese mixture.
• Line bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with foil, then coat pan and foil well with a nonstick spray. Pour mixture into prepared pan, cover top of pan and chill until firm.
• This cheesecake layer can be prepared up to two days in advance, and held in the refrigerator.
• Chocolate Layers:.
• Melt chocolate chips in a small heavy gauge saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 350F and arrange rack to the center position. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
• Cream the butter with the sugar until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled, melted chocolate. Whisk the flour with the baking soda and salt and gradually stir into the batter. Blend in the sour cream and divide batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
• Bake at 350F about 25 minutes or until layers spring back when lightly pressed in their centers. Cool layers in pans 10 minutes, then loosen and turn out onto a rack to complete cooling. Makes Two 9-inch layers
• Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting:
• Melt chocolate chips and butter in a small, heavy gauge saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and cool 10 minutes.
• Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract. Gradually add confectioners sugar, beating until frosting is smooth.
• Assemble the Cake:
• Arrange one of the cooled chocolate cake layers in center of a cake plate, top side down. Placing top side (because of its moist surface) down will help to secure cake to plate, preventing layers from slipping after cake is assembled.
• Release rim of the springform pan. Holding cheesecake in one hand and chocolate cake layer (on plate) in other hand, quickly invert chocolate layer (plate and all) on top of the cheesecake. Quickly flip the two, now attached layers back over, so chocolate layer is again on bottom. Now, you can easily remove springform pan bottom from (now top) of cheesecake layer.
• Arrange the remaining chocolate cake layer (top side down) on top of cheesecake layer. Using a long sharp knife and a slight sawing motion, carefully cut around rim of cheesecake layer to make it even with chocolate layers.
• Frost sides and top of cake and serve. The cheesecake layer will hold at room temperature several hours.
• For best results, serve cake within 3 hours of assembling.
• Refrigeration will cause the frosting to loose its beautiful sheen.
• Makes one, three layer, 9-inch round cake.
