Cheesecake Brownies Marble Squares

"My female ancestors were known for Marble Cakes and I decided to pay attention to their creations. Luckily, a recipe book containing all of them exists, and here comes one of the treasures to share. I must admit I always reduce the amount of sugar, not because I do not like it; but because we are exposed to it in almost everything we eat and drink, so there is not such a craving for it compared to the old days. I remember my grandmother telling me that it was not usual to have sugar constantly in the kitchen. The times were different. And, whenever there was an occasion to bake a cake, they loaded it with sugar to emphasize the importance of the occasion, whether a wedding, baptism, Christmas, Easter, or the return of long-absent family member. It reminds me of the old photos: the family would get their best suits and dresses out, hair was combed for hours, and the photographer was summoned to come and record the special moments. Now I can hardly recognize anyone in those ancient photos except the closest family members … You cannot go wrong with this combination of cream cheese and cocoa. Only a few decades ago, the cheeses were different, much simpler, so I have adapted the original recipe to the creamy, modernized versions available now. My grandmother was not the only one making miracles in the kitchen, I must say. For more beautiful creations, have a look at https://www.recipelion.com/Brownies"
