Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually stir in flour and baking powder until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, blending until fluffy.
  4. Once the brownie base has cooled slightly, pour the cheesecake mixture over it, smoothing the top.
  5. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 35–40 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  6. Allow the brownie cheesecake to cool to room temperature. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
