Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 tsp vanilla and mix until creamy.
Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter and swirl with a knife.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a fudgier brownie, slightly underbake by a minute or two.
Swirling gently ensures a beautiful marbled effect.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
