For the Brownie Batter
  1. In the bowl of your mixer add oil, sugar, vanilla extract and mix well until well combined. Add the eggs and continue beating until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the dry ingredients for the brownie batter, then mix into the butter mixture until well combined and smooth.
For the Cheesecake Batter

For Assembly
  1. Spread about ⅔ of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Spread the cheesecake batter over the brownie batter. Add the remaining brownie batter over cheesecake batter by the spoonful. Swirl the batters together by skewer back and forth through the pan.
