How to Make Halloween Cheesecake Cake

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Make the Chocolate Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Carefully stir in the boiling water until fully combined.
  3. Bake the Chocolate Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Pumpkin Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, mixing until smooth.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake Layer: Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan.
  6. Assemble the Cake: Once the chocolate cakes and pumpkin cheesecake are completely cooled, place one layer of chocolate cake on a serving plate. Top with the pumpkin cheesecake layer, followed by the second layer of chocolate cake.
  7. Make the Whipped Topping: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  8. Decorate the Cake: Spread the whipped cream topping over the top and sides of the assembled cake. Decorate with Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible decorations.
  9. Serve: Slice and enjoy your festive Halloween Cheesecake Cake!

Tips

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the cheesecake layer just until combined to avoid cracks.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Flavors: Use different flavored cake mixes or add chocolate chips to the cheesecake for a twist.
  • Add Nuts: Feel free to add chopped nuts to the cake batter for added texture.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced sugar for a lighter version of the cheesecake layer.
  • Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour in the cake.
