Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, mix dry ingredients for the cake; then add wet ingredients and combine until smooth.
Pour half of the batter into the springform pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely before removing.
Beat cream cheese in another bowl until smooth; gradually add sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in sour cream and vanilla before adding melted chocolate and eggs one at a time.
Assemble by layering cake and cheesecake mixture; bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60–70 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in center.
Chill overnight; prepare buttercream by beating butter and alternating cocoa powder with powdered sugar and cream until desired consistency is reached.
Frost cooled cheesecake with buttercream and garnish with chocolate chips.
