PREP: 15 MINS | COOK: 55 MINS SERVES:16 slices | TOTAL: 1 hr 10 MINs |
Ingredient
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar.
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup skim milk or full fat or almond milk
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. level baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup boiled water brewed powder with 2 tsp instant coffee(or ¼ cup strong brewed coffee)* at room temp
CHEESECAKE
- 1 cup (250g) light Cheese cream, at room temp
- 1/3 cup natural powdered sweetener (or sugar)
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter(don’t use natural)
- ½ cup plain, or Greek yogurt, sour cream, or natural
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- Preheat oven to 350oF | 1750C. Grease lightly an 8-inch round spring form pan with cooking oil spray; line with parchment paper/ baking and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until light and creamy. Beat in the milk until good mix.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt; mix together the wet ingredients, until fluffy well. Pour the coffee and beat the batter until fluffy, mix together, and smooth for 1 min. set aside
- For 1 minute on low speed, beat the cheesecake ingredients together until smooth and lump-free.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Pour 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture over the cake layer (don’t swirl it through). Pour the remaining cake batter over the cream cheese; then pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top to cover the cake entirely.
- Bake preheated oven for 50-55 min, or until the center is just set. If you find it is browning after 30 min, tent it with foil being careful the foil does not stick to the cheesecake. Slightly open the door and keep it in a jar with the cheesecake still in the oven for 20 min for all the cheesecake to set.
- Remove from the oven and allow cooling for two hours. It will be soft but set enough to serve slightly warm at this stage. OR cover with foil and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
- Chill the cake, and remove it from the baking pan onto a serving plate. Spread the chocolate glaze evenly around the sides of the cake with a thin, straight spatula. Then spread the peanut butter frosting over the top of the cake.
