  • ⅔ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tsp all-purpose flour optional, helps set the cheesecake

  • ⅔ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 5 ⅓ oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 ⅔ cups powdered sugar sifted
  • ⅔ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chocolate Chip Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan (or similar size) and line with parchment paper, if desired.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream (or buttermilk), beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
  • If using, add the flour and mix until smooth. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the chocolate chip cake batter, spreading it out evenly on top.

Bake the Cake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using). Beat for an additional minute to combine.

Assemble and Serve:

  • Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake. Slice and serve!
  • Enjoy your rich, indulgent chocolate chip cheesecake cake!
