Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- 2 sticks butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Cheesecake portion:
- 8 oz. softened cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup sugar
Ganache:
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (can add up to ⅓ cup more for a thicker texture)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Stir flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder then set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in eggs, then gradually beat in your flour mixture until fully incorporated. (Mixture will be thick and firm)
- Beat in yogurt and milk until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
- Make your cheesecake layer by mixing cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and sugar together in a separate bowl.
- Now, to build your cake: Pour half of your chocolate batter into a prepared bundt pan, then follow by dropping spoonfuls of cheesecake on top. Spread lightly with a spatula, then finish with remaining chocolate batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Depending on the size of your bundt pan, you might need more or less time.
- When cooked and slightly cooled, turn your cake out onto a plate to cool completely.
- Make ganache by pouring hot heavy cream over chocolate chips, letting it sit for 5 minutes before whisking vigorously to blend.
- Drizzle over your bundt cake and let it set for at least 20 minutes. Enjoy!
