Twisted Cheese

I love cheesecakes but they can be a bit troublesome to bake, with the biscuit base and leave it to cool overnight etc etc...
so, when i came across this chocolate cheese cake with a twist, which do not invovled the biscuit base and the cooling overnight etc ect, i decided to give it a go!
It's actually a very simply cake, substituting butter with cream cheese. Resulting a in a very moist chocolate cake. I frost it with chocolate frosting and decorate it with choppen pecans.
