2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make the Chocolate Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottoms of 2 (9-inch) round baking pans with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Fold in the hot coffee until a runny batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto cooling racks. Once fully cool, wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate.
2. Make the Cheesecake:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Fill a large pan with about ½ inch of water and spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Wrap the bottom in foil.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy.
Mix in sugar, sour cream, and vanilla until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place the pan in the water bath.
