Muddy Chocolate Cheese Cake

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 3 eggs one at a time, then blend in the yogurt. (8 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Melt 6 of the milk chocolate candy bars in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the cake batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. (7 minutes)

Recipe View Bake for 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. (40 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 3 eggs, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently pour this mixture over the top of the cake, covering the melted chocolate center. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cream cheese layer is set. (20 minutes)
