Once the chocolate cake has cooled, slice it horizontally in half to create two layers.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the bottom layer of the cake.
Place the second layer of cake on top of the cheesecake filling.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
5. Serve:
