Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Add 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream, and 2 teaspoons vanilla to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
-
Add flour, one tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition to avoid lumps.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Remove about one-third of the plain batter and place it in a separate small bowl.
-
In the small bowl, mix the cocoa, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.

Prepare your crust (not listed in ingredients, typically graham cracker crumbs and butter) in a 9-inch springform pan.
-
Alternately spoon dollops of the plain batter and the chocolate batter into the prepared crust.
-
Use a knife to swirl the batters together gently to create a marble effect.
-
Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
-
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
-
Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving to allow it to set fully.
