seconds more or until chocolate is softened. Stir

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

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.
