Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter over low heat, stir constantly, cool. Cream remaining butter with cream cheese until softened; gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and cream until fluffy. Stir in 1 egg, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, until blended. Beat remaining eggs until fluffy and light; gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, beat until thickened. Fold in baking powder, salt and remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Blend in cooled chocolate mixture; stir in nuts, almond extract, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Measure 1 cup chocolate batter and set aside. Spread remaining chocolate batter in greased 9 inch square pan. Pour cream cheese mixture over top. Drop measured chocolate batter from a teaspoon onto cheese mixture; swirl mixtures together with knife or spatula, just to marble.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool.
