Preparation time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients for 1 cake:
For the chocolate mixture:
- 200 g finely chopped dark chocolate coating
- 150 g soft butter
- 220 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 4 eggs (size M)
- 325 g wheat flour (type 405)
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 55 g baking cocoa
- 4 tbsp milk
- 100 g cream
For the cheesecake filling:
- 500 g quark (20% fat)
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding powder
- 130 g sugar
- 2 eggs (size M)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Aside from that:
- 200 g dark chocolate glaze
preparation
Step 1: Prepare the chocolate mixture
Melt the chopped chocolate coating over a simmering water bath and add the butter. Transfer to a mixing bowl and whisk with the sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs and mix well. Sift the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder together. Gradually stir into the batter. Add the milk and mix. This is how the chocolate Bundt cake is prepared.
Step 2: Prepare the cheesecake filling
For the cheesecake filling, whisk the sugar with the vanilla pudding powder, vanilla extract, and the two eggs until smooth. Stir in the quark until a smooth mixture forms. This creamy cheesecake filling will later make the Bundt cake extra moist and flavorful.
Step 3: Fill the Bundt pan
Pour ⅔ of the chocolate mixture into a bundt pan (approx. 24 cm in diameter) and spread it up the edges. Pour the cheesecake filling into the well.
Step 4: Baking
Preheat the oven to 170°C (350°F fan/convection oven: 150°C). Stir the cream into the remaining chocolate batter and pour this batter over the cheesecake filling. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 55-60 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer to make sure the cake is baked through. This ensures the perfect chocolate bundt cake with filling.
Step 5: Finish
Let the cake cool and then turn it out onto a cake plate. Melt the chocolate glaze according to the instructions and spread it generously over the chocolate cheesecake.
Tips & Variations
- Nutty touch: Add chopped nuts such as walnuts or hazelnuts to the chocolate mixture to create additional texture.
- Fruity variations: Experiment with different fillings, for example by incorporating fresh berries into the cheesecake mixture.
- Flavoring: Give the chocolate mixture a special touch with some espresso or orange zest.
