Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated white sugar for brownie layer
  • ½ cup all purpose white flour for brownie layer
  • ½ cup Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder for brownie layer
  • ½ teaspoon salt for brownie layer
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder for brownie layer
  • 2 large eggs for brownie layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature for cream cheese layer
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar for cream cheese layer
  • 1 large egg for cream cheese layer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together, then add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange food coloring, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over it. Add the remaining brownie batter on top and swirl gently with a knife.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool in the pan before lifting out.
