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