Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup melted butter

  • 2 eggs
  • 0.75 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar for the cheesecake swirl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk the butter, sugar, and eggs, then fold in the flour, cocoa, and red coloring.
  3. Beat the cream cheese with the 1/4 cup sugar until smooth for the swirl.
  4. Spread the red batter in the pan and dollop the cheesecake mixture over it.
  5. Swirl the two together with a knife.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, then chill at least an hour before slicing.

Notes

Chilling is key here so the cheesecake swirl sets up cleanly.
