Ingredients

Batter
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons red food coloring
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
Topping
16 ounces cream cheese, soft
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Place melted butter, sugar, cocoa, red food coloring, vanilla, vinegar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Blend until smooth. Add more food coloring if desired. Beat in eggs.

2. Stir in flour until batter is smooth. Spread batter into your 13 x 9 temp-tations baker.

3. For the topping, in a separate bowl beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Blend in sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Place spoonfuls of this mixture over the batter in your baker.

4. Use a butter knife to swirl the topping and batter together. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting.
