🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Make the Brownie Base

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.

Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven (it will finish baking later).

3️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until fully combined.
Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and sour cream. Beat just until smooth—do not overmix.

4️⃣ Assemble the Layers

Pour cheesecake batter gently over the partially baked brownie layer. Smooth the top evenly.

Drizzle ½ cup caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
