Bottom Layer:
1 yellow cake mix
Filling:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
Topping:
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
3 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Bottom Layer:

Prepare cake mix as directed on package; pour half of the batter evenly into greased springform pan. (Suggestion: use extra batter to make a plain cake in a small round pan.)

Bake 20 minutes.

Filling:

Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing at low speed after each addition just until blended. Add in sour cream; pour cream-cheese mixture over cake.

Bake 35 minutes, or until center is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to separate cake from side of pan.

Topping:

Melt chocolate and margarine over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Add water, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Spread over cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
