Cream Cheese Swirled Brownie Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and one egg in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Mix butter, water, and cocoa in a saucepan and heat until butter is melted. Watch carefully- do not overcook chocolate!
• In another bowl, combine flour, remaining 2 cups sugar, soda, salt, vanilla, 2 eggs, and sour cream.
• Beat chocolate sauce into flour mixture and spread into a greased and floured 17 1/2" x 11" pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture over the chocolate and swirl with a knife to make a marbled effect. Do not over mix.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.
• Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until the center is set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Separate 2 eggs, putting each white in a separate bowl (discard yolks or save for another use); set aside. In a small bowl, beat butter and 3/4 cup sugar until crumbly. Beat in remaining whole egg, 1 egg white and vanilla until well combined. Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to egg mixture until blended. Pour into a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray; set aside., In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Beat in the second egg white. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls over the batter; cut through batter with a knife to swirl. , Bake 25-30 minutes or until set and edges pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• 1. Gather ingredients. Allow for time for cream cheese to soften (or use the quick warm-up trick; see **Note.)
• 2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a bundt pan with bakers spray or use the butter/flour method.
• 3. Beat together cream cheese, sour cream and 1/3 cup sugar until smooth.
• 4. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 egg; beat until well combined; set aside.
• 5. In a large bowl, stir together brownie mix and cake mix until well combined.
• 6. Add water, oil and eggs; whisk or use hand-mixer on low/ medium-low speed to mix until lumps are mostly gone.
• 7. Pour 1/2 the brownie cake batter into prepared bundt pan; rap on counter several times to assure even distribution.
• 8. Spoon cream cheese mixture onto center of cake batter, avoiding sides as much as possible; cover with remaining cake batter.
• 9. Create swirls by inserting knife into batter and swirling in a figure 8 pattern all around batter.
• 10. Bake at 350` F for one hour and ten minutes, turning cake 180 degrees after the first 35 minutes. (Due to oven variance, start checking at one hour, then at 5 minute intervals. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center, at several places, comes out mostly clean.
• 11. When done baking, remove cake and allow to cool in pan for 30 minutes. Carefully turn cake out onto a cake stand or plate (I like to use parchment paper, but that's just me.) Allow to thoroughly cool before drizzling with ganache (at least 2 to 3 hours.)
• 12. To make the ganache, pour chocolate chips into a medium heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring cream to a slight simmer; immediately pour heated cream over chocolate chips; whisk until completely smooth. Pour over cooled cake. (You may double ganache recipe if extra is desired for serving with chocolate dipped strawberries or for drizzling extra over individual slices.) Serve.
• 13. **NOTE: How to Quickly Bring Cream Cheese to Room Temp. Remove cream cheese from box, leaving cheese wrapped in foil only. Soak a clean kitchen towel in very hot tap water; quickly squeeze out excess water and place towel on counter. Quickly wrap cheese in towel, then place a large bowl or skillet over top to trap the heat. Cheese should be softened in 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside. In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Place 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove bowl from pan. Add 1 1/4 cups sugar; mix to combine. Add 3 eggs, and mix to combine. Add flour and cocoa mixture; mix just until moistened (do not overmix).
• Prepare cream-cheese mixture: Whisk cream cheese with 2 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Alternately spoon chocolate batter and cream-cheese mixture into pan; with the tip of a paring knife, swirl to marble.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using paper overhang, lift brownies out of pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely (still on paper). On a cutting board, using a dampened serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.

Steps:

• Prepare the brownie mix as directed by manufacturer. Preheat oven to temperature indicated on box. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
• Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, egg and sugar until smooth. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter. Swirl together using a knife or skewer.
• Bake according to manufacturer's instructions. Brownies will be done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan, then cut into bars and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix the cream cheese filling ingredients.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture onto brownie batter and swirl into batter with a knife.
• Bake according to package and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9x13-inch pan with Golden Flavour Crisco. Double this recipe to make three 9-inch pans.
• For cream cheese batter, cream Crisco, cream cheese, and sugar in medium-size bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, flour, and vanilla thoroughly.
• For brownie, melt Crisco and chocolate in small saucepan over low heat; stir until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl.
• Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, beating well. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir in to chocolate mixture.
• Spread half of brownie batter in pan. Spread cream cheese layer evenly on top. Drop remaining chocolate batter over cheese mixture, spreading gently to cover. Swirl together gently with tip of a knife.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Do not overbake. Cool.
• Once the brownies have cooled in the pan a little while, you can cut them, but don't remove them from the pan yet! Let them sit for about 1 hour until they firm up. Then you can remove them from the pan without them getting all squished up. Also, these NEED to be frozen -- you can defrost them slightly or even eat them straight out of the freezer. But DO NOT keep them on the counter!

Steps:

• Make swirl
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter 8-inch square nonstick baking pan. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat until well blended. Beat in egg. Mix in flour and vanilla. Set mixture aside.
• Make brownies
• Stir baking chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs in large bowl until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in chocolate mixture and extracts. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Spread half of chocolate batter (about 1 1/4 cups) in prepared pan. Using rubber spatula, spread cream cheese mixture over chocolate batter. Spoon remaining chocolate batter over top of cream cheese mixture. Using tip of knife, gently swirl through batter, forming marble design. Bake brownies until tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool brownies in pan on rack. Cut into squares.
