Description

This indulgent Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Layer Cake combines the rich, deep flavor of chocolate with the fresh, citrusy notes of orange. Layers of moist chocolate cake are paired with a smooth and creamy orange cheesecake filling, making for a decadent dessert perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Place one of the chocolate cake layers on a serving platter and spread half of the cheesecake mixture on top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over it.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • You can garnish with extra orange zest or chocolate shavings for added decoration.
  • If you prefer a more intense orange flavor, add a bit more orange zest or juice.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
