Flourless chocolate cake with cheesecake swirl
So I make this cake every once in a while and everyone goes nuts over it, so I figured I may as well post it. Part of my problem is when I cook I dont measure anything, I just eyeball it so I may be off. Please feel free to eyeball and play around with the quantities.
3oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
1oz cream
4 beaten eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup shugr (or sweetener (blend) of choice)
1 stick butter
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
For the swirl
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1/2c shugr
2 eggs
1oz cream
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 300
Butter a cake pan
Mix chocolate, butter cream and shugr in a double boiler. Remove from heat and add cocoa, beaten egg and vanilla. Stir well (I dont beat it since it gets too fluffy and this is supposed to be dense) keep warm.
Mix all ingredients for cheesecake (I use a magic bullet and it takes a few seconds)
Pour at the same time. One side with the cheesecake and the other half with the flourless chocolate cake and swirl the 2 sides or pour the chocolate cake and then pour the cream cheese on top in a criss cross pattern and use a knife to make pretty ribbon swirls.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. After it cools let it refrigerate until it gets cool. This cake is VERY VERY rich. A small piece is all you need. It goes well with whipped cream to help cut the richness.
