Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; mix in milk, oil, vanilla extract, egg, and hot water until smooth.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes; cool before adding the cheesecake layer.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; then add sugar, cocoa powder, sour cream, vanilla extract, melted chocolate chips, and eggs one at a time until blended.
Pour cheesecake mixture over one cake layer in the pan and top with remaining batter.
Bake for about 90 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly; cool in the oven with the door ajar.

Once cooled completely, spread buttercream on top and garnish with chocolate chips.
