Say Happy Birthday to the cheesecake lover with a cheesecake that’s creamy, colorful, and perfect for a birthday celebration.

This chocolate birthday cake recipe calls for dark chocolate in the ganache to balance out the sweetness of the Nutella. For a more kid-friendly cake, use milk chocolate.

Note: You can double this recipe to make a 9x13 sheet cake or a round layer cake. This cake is very moist, so it really is important that the pans be well greased.
