    Recipe



    Make the cheesecake layer:

    Beat together cream cheese and sugar in bowl until
    smooth, using electric mixer at medium speed. Beat in
    vanilla extract and egg. Set aside.


    Place chocolate in microwave-safe cup. Microwave on
    medium (50% power) for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave 30
    seconds more or until chocolate is softened. Stir
    until smooth and let cool.


    Make the chocolate cake:

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8x2-inch square baking
    pan. Line bottom of the pan with parchment paper and
    butter paper.


    Mix flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder,
    baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.


    Combine eggs, melted butter and sour cream and whisk
    until blended. Add to dry ingredients and mix just
    until combined. Spread batter into prepared pan.


    Spread cream cheese mixture over the chocolate batter.
    Drizzle with melted chocolate. Bake for 40 to 45
    minutes or until top is set and golden and a cake
    tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out
    with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it.


    Cool in pan on wire rack. When the cake is completely
    cooled, cut into squares to serve.
