Here’s a delicious recipe for a Marbled Skillet Brownie Cake—a perfect dessert that combines fudgy brownie with a creamy swirl of cheesecake!
Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Swirl:
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare the Skillet
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Make the Brownie Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir just until the ingredients are combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
3. Make the Cheesecake Swirl
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
4. Assemble the Marbled Brownie Cake
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter.
- Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
5. Bake
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft (a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs).
6. Cool and Serve
- Let the brownie cake cool in the skillet for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
