Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 35 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Beat cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 egg together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 4

Mix water, cocoa powder, and butter together in a saucepan; heat over medium-low heat until melted, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Combine flour, remaining 2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, sour cream, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl. Beat chocolate mixture into flour mixture until batter is smooth; spread into the prepared baking dish. Spoon cream mixture over batter and run a knife through the cream cheese mixture to spread into a marbled pattern. Sprinkle butterscotch chips over top.
