Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 450ðF (230ðC).
-
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth batter.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream, and 2 teaspoons vanilla on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
-
Add the flour to the cream cheese mixture and blend well until fully incorporated.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
-
In a small separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder and 1/4 cup sugar.
-
Add the vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the cocoa mixture and mix until smooth.
-
Measure out about 1-1/2 cups of the plain cream cheese mixture and add it to the chocolate mixture; stir until well blended and uniform in color.
-
Prepare your springform pan according to package instructions (usually greasing or lining with parchment).
-
Alternately spoon dollops of the plain cream cheese mixture and the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
-
Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the two mixtures together to create a marbled effect, being careful not to over-mix them into a uniform brown.
-
Bake at 450ðF (232ðC) for 10 minutes.
-
Without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 250ðF (120ðC) and continue baking for 30 minutes.
-
Turn off the oven heat but keep the cheesecake inside with the door closed for an additional 30 minutes to cool slowly and prevent cracking.
-
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and gently loosen the sides with a knife.
-
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
