Ingredients 

For the Chocolate Cake Layer:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

For the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate Cake Layer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.
  • Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. It will be thin, but that's okay.
  • Pour the chocolate cake batter into a greased and lined 7-inch springform pan.
  • Place the pan in the preheated air fryer basket and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the air fryer and let it cool completely.

Prepare the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Layer:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the cheesecake batter is smooth.
  • Pour the peanut butter cheesecake batter over the cooled chocolate cake layer in the springform pan.
  • Return the pan to the air fryer and cook at 325°F (163°C) for another 15-20 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the air fryer and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream.
  • Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until the mixture is smooth.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Sprinkle chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on top.
  • Slice, serve, and garnish with whipped cream.
