How to Make Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup raspberry preserves, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
  3. Make the brownie batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened) and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Pour the cream cheese filling over the batter and spread evenly.
  9. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the filling. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batter and filling together.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
