1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups whipping cream

Grease a 10-inch springform cake pan and line bottom and sides with parchment paper.


Melt butter and pour into a larger bowl.


Sift cocoa into butter and stir in sugar.


Add eggs to mixture, blending well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt (do not sift).


Add to cocoa mixture and blend.

Pour into pan and bake for 35 minutes, until firm.


Cool completely before filling.


Cheesecake Layer

Remove from heat.


Beat cream cheese until fluffy with electric beaters or in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment on high speed.


Slowly add sugar while mixing and beat in vanilla.
