Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg; mix into dry ingredients.
Gradually stir in hot water until well combined.
Divide batter into two portions and bake each layer for about 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese until smooth; add sugar, cocoa powder, sour cream, vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and eggs.
Layer the first cake piece on a plate; spread half of the cheesecake mixture over it. Repeat with the second layer and remaining cheesecake mixture.
