To make the chocolate cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
To make the cheesecake, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream. Pour the cheesecake batter over one of the cooled chocolate cakes. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set. Let the cheesecake cool completely.
To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth.
To assemble the cake, place the second chocolate cake on top of the cooled cheesecake. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
