Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Spread about 2/3 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
Spoon the remaining brownie batter in dollops over the cheesecake layer.
Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled effect.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
