Rich German chocolate cake with creamy cheesecake pockets, perfect for sharing with loved ones.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup hot water
  • 4 (1 ounce) squares German baking chocolate, melted
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Simmer water in a small saucepan and place chocolate in a bowl over it. Stir chocolate often until melted, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the water.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt by sifting them in a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups of sugar and shortening using an electric mixer until creamy. Add 4 egg yolks and mix until smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla extract, then incorporate the flour mixture. Finally, gently fold in the melted chocolate into the batter.
  • Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form, which should take about 5 minutes. Gently fold the fluffy whites into the batter. Pour half of the batter into the baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whip cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth. Add 4 eggs and beat on low speed until just combined. Pour mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top and spread to the edges.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 75-80 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Then cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for another 30 minutes.
