Few can resist the creamy richness of a good cheesecake, and I am not one of them! I look for any excuse to make one for guests and this year I spied the most wonderful combination of cake and cheesecake I had ever laid eyes on! I was determined to make it mine, and I did! In February, I made my very own birthday cake because I couldn’t resist the Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Cake and wasn’t sure Hubs was up for the task! lol No matter, because I was definitely up for it and was super excited to give it a try. I mean seriously people, this is hazelnut swirl CHEESECAKE sandwiched right inside chocolate cake with a thick layer of cream cheese icing!! It doesn’t get better than this!

Where’s the link to the Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Cake? It looks amazing!
Linda, I used this recipe from Heather over at mmm…is for mommy – http://mmmisformommy.com/2012/02/nutella-swirl-cheesecake-cake.html
Thanks so much for the reply. I’m definitely going to have to make this one.
The prize is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. I rarely make cheesecake, the one time I did, I heated it up in the mocirovwave. UM..> STUPID! It melted everywhere.
lol Kyla, you crack me up!
OMG YUM!!! I can’t wait to try to make a GF version!! YUM!
I love me some cheesecake, but alas I would mess it up hugely! However that does not mean I can’t eat a mean cheesecake and that Hazelnut cheesecake cake thing is looking so good. Where’s that recipe????
It’s so good, check out mmm…is for Mommy’s blog. Heather’s cake looks so much prettier than mine too!
You had me at cheesecake already but chocolate hazelnut cheesecake. Lord help me!
Haha. I think I may enter my Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake.
I love cheesecake, but I don’t actually make it very often. In fact, I was given a springform pan a few years ago for Christmas and I think (gasp!) that I’ve never made cheesecake in it yet. So I think I will just print this recipe and go try it. (Since I happen to have extra cream cheese right now.) Thanks for sharing!
