  3. In a large bowl, place the softened butter and sugars. Using a spatula, mix the three ingredients until smooth.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

Chocolate Topping:
  1. Melt the chocolate using a double-boiler or microwave on medium power, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until smooth.

  3. Pour the mixture over the cheesecake and spread evenly.
