Michael Owen had two first-half chances to give Newcastle the lead, while Ballack miscued when through on goal.
But Chelsea took control after the break, Ballack nodding in on 61 minutes and Malouda calmly adding a second.
The win moved Chelsea level on points with Manchester United, though their goal difference is vastly inferior.
