Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam or preserves
Instructions
-
Prepare the Brownie Layer:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
-
Combine Layers and Add Raspberry Swirl:
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie layer in the pan.
Spoon the raspberry jam in small dollops over the cheesecake layer.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the raspberry jam into the cheesecake layer, creating a marbled effect.
-
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For a neat swirl pattern, do not over-swirl the raspberry jam; a few light swirls are enough.
- Ensure the cream cheese is sufficiently softened for a smooth cheesecake layer.
- These brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
