Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, lightly greased.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together granulated white sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, beat together eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Reserve about ¼ cup of the brownie batter; pour remaining batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Beat cream cheese with additional sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth; add food coloring and mix well.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie base, drop reserved batter in spoonfuls, and swirl gently.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until edges are set; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack; cut into squares once completely cool.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
