Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling by blending cold cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, black cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Add egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix well. Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just blended.
