Oreo Chocolate Cheesecake Cake

This Oreo Chocolate Cheesecake  Cake is a chocolately bundt cake with an Oreo cheesecake filling and it's topped with cream cheese glaze and more Oreos!!

When it comes to baking a bundt cake, there is one essential step you cannot skip and that is to generously grease and flour the bundt pan from top to bottom. You do not want anything sticking to the sides of the pan.  

Here I used ready mix in a box chocolate cake. Life too short to do everything from scratch! 

Ingredients:

• 1 box chocolate cake
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 

For the cheesecake :

• 227g cream cheese, room temperature 
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup crushed Oreos 

For the topping:

• 113g cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4-5 tsp double cream
• 3-4 Oreos, crushed
• 1/4 cup hot fudge

Method:

For the cake: Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C for fan oven.  Generously grease a large bundt pan and coat it with a mixture of 50% cocoa powder and 50% flour. Do not skip this step, it is important to help the cake release from the pan. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, cocoa powder, eggs, oil, water, sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix all of the ingredients until they are well combined. Set aside. 

For the cheesecake: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the egg, granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix all of the ingredients until they are well combined and smooth. Stir in the crushed Oreos. 

Place at least 1/3 of the cake batter into the bottom of the greased and floured pan, be sure cover at least the bottom nooks and crannies.

Then spread the Oreo cheesecake layer over top of the cake batter and try to spread it evenly.

Finally cover the cheesecake layer with the remaining cake batter. Bake at 180°C/160°C for fan oven for 45-50 minutes. To test the cake doneness, insert a skewer into the cake,mid the skewer comes out clean, the cake is done. 

Allow the cake to cool for at least 15-20 minutes and gently sun a knife around the sides of the pan to help release the cake from the sides of the pan. Turn the cake onto a pan by placing the pan on the top of  the cake and use two hands to invert it. Allow the cake to cool completely. 

For the topping: Beat the cream cheese until it's smooth. Then add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat until the ingredients are well combined. Then slowly add the double cream, one teaspoon at a time until the cream cheese reaches your desired consistency. It should still be thick, not watery, but it should run off the spoon without too much effort. 

Place the cream cheese in a piping bag and cut off the edge of the piping bag about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Pipe the cream cheese frosting along the top and sides of the cake.

Next, heat the hot fudge according to the instruction on the jar and repeat the same steps to pipe the fudge sauce next to or over the cream cheese. 

Finally, sprinkle more crushed Oreos over top. Keep this cake refrigerated in an air tight container.
