Creamy cheesecake swirls accent the rich German chocolate cake. This is an old family recipe which is honestly my favorite recipe that my Grandmother gave me. Top with shredded coconut and confectioners' sugar.

Time 2h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup hot water
4 (1 ounce) squares German baking chocolate, melted
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Heat water in a small saucepan until simmering. Place chocolate in a bowl set over, but not touching, the water. Stir chocolate frequently until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and discard water.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat 2 cups sugar and shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in 4 egg yolks until smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla extract. Mix in flour mixture. Fold melted chocolate into the batter.
  • Beat egg whites in another bowl until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold egg whites into the batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Beat cream cheese and 1 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add 4 eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour mixture over batter in the baking dish. Gently spoon remaining batter on top and spread it to the edges of the dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 75 to 80 minutes. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes more.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The chocolate flavor was overwhelming and the cheesecake filling was too dense.
