Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Combine melted butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter and swirl gently to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the fresh blackberries evenly over the top andfold some into the cheesecake layer if desired.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For a more intense blackberry flavor, fold extra blackberries into the cheesecake mixture before swirling.
- Use frozen blackberries after thawing and draining excess moisture.
- Ensure complete cooling before slicing to prevent sticking and maintain the cheesecake layer’s integrity.
