Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnish if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan, melt butter, remove from heat, and stir in sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture until just combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy. Gently fold in blackberries.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over brownie batter. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before slicing.
Notes
- Do not overmix the brownie batter to maintain fudginess.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother cheesecake layer.
- You can substitute blackberries with raspberries or blueberries.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
