Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  8. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in the sour cream until smooth.
  9. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the pan.
  10. Spoon the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer, creating swirls with a knife for a marbled effect.
  11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  12. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the brownie batter.
  • You can also top the cooled cake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
