What You Need

pkg. (1-layer size) yellow cake mix

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

3/4

cup granulated sugar

tsp. vanilla, divided

3/4

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

eggs

oz. BAKER'S Unsweetened Chocolate

Tbsp. milk

Tbsp. butter or margarine

cup powdered sugar

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F if using a silver springform pan (or to 300ºF if using a dark nonstick springform pan). Grease bottom of pan; set aside. Prepare cake batter as directed on package; pour into prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 min. (or 20 to 25 min. if using dark pan) or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool.

BEAT cream cheese, granulated sugar and 1 tsp. of the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over cake layer in pan.

BAKE 40 to 45 min. or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan.

PLACE chocolate, milk and butter in medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add powdered sugar and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla; mix well. Spread over cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

This cake was great. Everyone that I let try some of it loved it. It was gone in less than a day.

I love to collect cheesecakes. This one is definitely a keeper. Though I changed the vanilla layer cake to chocolate it still came out great.

Very possibly the best cheesecake I've ever had. The amazing thing is that this is only the 3rd cheesecake I've ever made. It is very unique and like something I would expect to see in a resteraunt dessert case. My friends & family enjoyed it too.

This was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever eaten. Even some of my family who do not like cheesecake, thought this was great. I made it twice within a 2 wk period. I am not a baker at all and was able to make this delicious dessert. The only problem I ran into, was the receipe calls for a 1 layer cake mix and I didn't notice that and used a 2 layer cake mix. Turned out not to be a problem, I just let the cake cool, then opened the springform pan and used dental floss to cut the cake in 1/2. Put the springform pan back on the cake and it worked beatifully. I can't wait to make this again. Hum, Father's Day is around the corner. I'm sure my husband would love to have some of this cheesecake.

MAKE THIS RECIPE - you won't be disappointed! This recipe was awesome - not too sweet and everyone asked for seconds - there was nothing left. It was a perfect blend of cheesecake and chocolate. At first I didn't think that the cheesecake part was sweet enough and thought about adding more sugar, but don't let it fool you - the layers mix and make a superbly satisfying combination. I think that I'll try a lemon cake mix next time and experiment with a white chocolate glaze. I've even considered using a chocolate cake mix and discussed it with my husband. He said he didn't care what I did he just wanted to know when I would be making it again.
