1 layer 1942 Devil’s Food Cake (see recipe)
2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature (divided)
1 cup sugar (divided)
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided)
6 large eggs (divided)
5 ounces best-quality white chocolate, melted (see note)
Butter bottom only of 9-inch springform pan that is 3 inches deep. Line bottom with parchment or wax paper. Have available a 15 1/2 by-10 1/2-inch jellyroll pan. Heat a kettle filled with warm water to be used for baking the cheesecake.
Make 1942 Devil’s Food Cake. Slice one layer in half horizontally to make two layers and place one of those sliced layers in the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
To make dark chocolate batter: With paddle attachment of a heavy-duty standing mixer set on the lowest speed, beat half the cream cheese until smooth, no more than 30 seconds.
Stop mixer and scrape bowl and beater. Add half the sugar in a stream and beat no more than 30 seconds. Stop and scrape bowl and beater. Add melted dark chocolate and beat only until absorbed, no more than 30 seconds. Beat in half the vanilla.
Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing only until each is absorbed. Stop and scrape sides and beater after each addition.
To make white chocolate batter: Use another bowl and follow the same procedure as for the dark chocolate batter, using remaining cream cheese and sugar, the melted white chocolate, and remaining vanilla and eggs.
Wrap aluminum foil around bottom of springform pan to come at least 1 inch up the sides. Pour dark chocolate batter into pan over cake layer already in pan. Place other sliced cake layer on batter and pour in white chocolate batter. Place pan in the jellyroll pan and pour warm water into pan to a depth of ½ inch.
Bake cheesecake on middle rack of preheated 350-degree oven about 75 minutes, or until lightly colored and firm except for the very center.
Remove from oven and carefully remove cheesecake from pan filled with hot water. Remove foil and cool completely on rack. Wrap cheesecake and chill overnight before unmolding.
Note: Make sure to use the best-quality white chocolate you can find or it won’t impart much chocolate flavor to the batter.

Only one of the layers is used to make the cheesecake above. You may freeze the other layer and keep it until the next time you prepare the cheesecake. Or simply serve it with whipped cream.
