2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, almond extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
7. Fold about 1/3 of the brownie batter into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
8. Pour the remaining brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
9. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
10. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
