Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch baking pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter with sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs. Stir until smooth. Fold in flour and baking powder.
  3. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  4. For the cheesecake layer, beat cream cheese in a clean bowl until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing gently.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base, spreading it evenly. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 35-40 minutes until set with a slightly jiggly center.
  6. Cool the cheesecake to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Slice the chilled Brownie Cheesecake into squares and serve, optionally with whipped cream or fresh berries.
