Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

Melt butter in the microwave about 1 minute. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder. Blend in eggs one at a time using an electric mixer; add vanilla extract. Combine flour (see Cook's Note) baking powder and salt in a small bowl and add to batter. Mix until well combined and pour into the prepared baking pan. Level with a knife or spatula.

Step 3

Beat together cream cheese sugar and 1 egg in a second bowl until smooth. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter.

Step 4

Separate cherries from the the jelled filling and dollop them over the cream cheese mixture saving leftover jelly for another use if desired. Swirl together using a knife.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until brownies are set and edges pull away from the sides of the pan 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly before cutting into bars.
