Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 4 oz dark chocolate

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup plain flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1 tbsp plain flour

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease your cake pan.

2. Make the Brownie Layer

  1. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a microwave or over a double boiler.

  2. Whisk in the eggs one at a time.

  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

  4. Mix until smooth, then pour into your prepared cake tin.

  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

3. Make the Cheesecake Layer

  1. Beat cream cheese until smooth.

  2. Add sugar and vanilla extract; mix until creamy.

  3. Add sour cream and flour, mix again.

  4. Pour in heavy cream and beat just until incorporated.

  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie layer.

4. Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

5. Chill

Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

6. Serve

Slice, serve, and enjoy your decadent layered dessert!

Notes

  • Don’t overbake the brownie layer during the first bake—it should still look soft in the center.

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for a silky cheesecake texture.

  • Let the cheesecake chill thoroughly for the cleanest slices.

  • For extra decadence, drizzle with melted chocolate or add a swirl of brownie batter on top.
