How To Make candy cane chocolate cheesecake cake

  • 1
    Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and flour and beat again. Melt the baking chocolate according to the package directions and slowly add to the cream cheese mixture while the mixer is going. Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand. Line the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Pour the cheesecake batter in the pan. Place a cookie sheet on the rack under the cheesecake and fill with hot water. Bake the cheesecake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Do not over bake.
  • 2
    Turn off the heat and crack the oven. After 1 hour remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake. Do not remove the sides of the pan. Cool on a wire rack for another 1-2 hours. Leave in the pan and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight. Combine the cake ingredients and beat on low for 1 minute and medium for 2 minutes. Divide the batter in half and bake in 2 - 8 inch pans at 350 degrees for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs sticking to it. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before flipping out on a wire rack to cool completely. Beat the butter, marshmallow cream, vanilla, peppermint, and salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the powdered sugar and whipping cream and beat for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. Set aside 1/3 cup frosting for the garnish.

    Place one cake layer on a plate. Top with the cheesecake layer. Add the last cake layer on top of the cheesecake. Spread a thin layer of frosting on the top. Use the rest of the frosting on the sides of the cake. Use the side of the spatula to pull out the frosting to look fluffy. Use a teaspoon to sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces on the very bottom of the cake. Bring the heavy cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and creamy. Cool for 10 minutes. Spoon onto the top of the cake and spread out keeping it from going over the edges. Sprinkle with crushed candy cane pieces. Refrigerate until set. Swirl the remaining frosting on the top of the cake and garnish with the Candy Cane Kisses. Keep the cake covered and refrigerated. Cut into 12-14 slices.
