Ingredients:
2 eggs , room temperature
3/4 th cup sugar , powdered
1/2 cup oil+ 2 tbl spoon butter ( softened)
1 cup of all purpose flour
2 tbl spoon Cocoa powder
1/4 th cup of semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/4 th cup of butter milk + 1 or 2 tbl spoon more if needed
1 small bottle of red food color
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For the cream cheese layer :
1 package or 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 egg
1/3 rd cup sour cream
1/2 cup caster sugar / powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Procedure:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 FH . Grease and line a square cake pan with parchment paper keeping the edges little higher than the pan , that would help to pull out the cake from the pan without distorting the cheese cake layer .
2. Melt the chocolate morsels with 2 tbl spoon of butter . I microwaved them for 20 seconds . Stir and if needed microwave for another couple of seconds .
3 .Cream the 1/2 ( half cup ) oil with sugar . Add the melted chocolate and beat . Add in the eggs , one at a time . In another bowl sieve the flour and cocoa powder together . In this recipe no baking powder is used . So don’t put any baking powder . Mix the red food color with the buttermilk . If you don’t have buttermilk , take 1/4 th cup of milk and add 1 tea spoon of vinegar in it .Rest for 10 minutes and buttermilk is ready .
Now fold in the flour mixture with cream mixture alternately with buttermilk . That is fold half of the flour mixture , then add buttermilk . Fold in the remaining flour mixture . If you find your cake batter too thick , you may add 1 tbl spoon of more buttermilk to it . But the batter supposed to be little thick , don’t make a runny batter . Take 3 tbl spoon of batter from it and keep aside . Pour the remaining batter into the pan .
4. For the cream cheese layer , beat in all the ingredients mentioned for cream cheese layer until smooth . Don’t overbeat so that it becomes runny , just enough to get everything incorporated well without leaving any lump . Pour it over cake batter . Now dollop the cake batter on the cream cheese layer and make swirl with a toothpick .
5. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes or until if toothpick inserted comes out clean .
6. Let it cool completely before you cut into pieces .
