I’ve loved baking since I was a little girl.
When I started to graduate from the easy bake oven to the real oven, this was one of the first cakes I learned to make with my Mom.

I was always so proud when we would attend an event where we brought a dessert and I could proclaim “I made this!.” The cheesecake ribbon through the cake takes your everyday chocolate cake to the next level! Enjoyable!

- Pour half of the cake batter into a 13” x 9” pan.
- Spread the cream cheese filling on top of that and then add the rest of the cake batter.

- To make the chocolate frosting, place the butter, chocolate chips, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla in a medium-size saucepan.
- Cook over low heat and whisk until smooth.
- Cool slightly, adding more sugar if necessary to achieve a spreading consistency.
- Ice the cake while the frosting is still warm.
