Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220C. Line a 15-16cm round spring form baking tin with greaseproof paper with a 5cm overhang.
- Combine the cream cheese, caster sugar, eggs, orange zest, orange juice and cream with a whisk till smooth – making sure not to incorporate too much air into the mix. Sift the cocoa powder and cake flour, mix to combine.
- Pour batter into the prepared tin, and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the tops are dark brown but the cheesecake centre is still jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let it completely cool in the tin before taking it out and slicing.
Top Tips
If you like your cheesecake softer in the middle, bake for less time and chill before serving.

Chocolate cheese cake looks great, but what’s cake flour? Is it baking power?

I made this using Equal “caster sugar” replacement & it was a hit but.. I need to work out how to smoothly incorporate the cream cheese without using electric beaters, it looked like it had coconut in it (did not affect taste) so I’d like to know why the recipe said to just whisk together ü§î
I topped it with an orange/dark chocolate ganache & served it with strawberries & dollop cream. It was a definite yum from us all & was asked to make it again.
