Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (7½oz/213g)
  • 6 tablespoons butter (3oz/85g, melted)
  • ⅔ cup dark brown sugar (4oz/115g, divided)
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar (3oz/85g, divided)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (4oz/115g)
  • 2 large eggs (divided, at room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (divided, at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar (14oz/402g)
  • 1 cup cream cheese (8oz/225g, softened)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23cm) square baking pan with enough parchment paper or aluminum foil to hang over the edges (for easy releasing).
  • Thoroughly mix the flour, butter, 2/3 cup (4oz/115g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (4oz/115g) granulated sugar, 2 eggs, baking powder, and salt together and then spread evenly into your prepared pan.
  • Then mix the remaining ½ cup (3oz/85g) brown sugar and 2 eggs with the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla.
  • Pour this mixture on top of the first layer (without stirring it together) and bake for about 1 hour, or until the cake is set but still jiggles slightly when shaken.
  • Let cool in the pan slightly before cutting into 9 squares. Serve warm with whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
