Chocolate Sponge Cake Base:

- Sift together 125g all-purpose flour, 25g cocoa powder, 10g cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix into the wet ingredients until smooth.
- Bake in a greased and lined 8-inch springform pan at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until set. Let cool as you prepare the cheesecake layer.
Baked Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat 330g cream cheese with 60g granulated sugar, 45g light brown sugar, 14g cornstarch, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until creamy.
- Melt 140g dark chocolate; combine with 120ml whipping cream, then mix into the cheese mixture. Pour over the sponge cake base.
- Bake at 325°F for 25-30 minutes. Turn off the oven, leave the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour before chilling for 3-4 hours.
Chocolate Whipped Cream Topping:
- Whip 160ml whipping cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Decorate the chilled cheesecake with the whipped cream, using a piping bag for precision.
