Rex made this on Sunday, and they are great!
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 Tbsp butter
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1- 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Line a 13x9 baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Grease foil; set pan aside. In a large heavy saucepan cook and stir the chocolate and butter over low heat until chocolate melts. Remove from heat, cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs with mixer until foamy. Add the 1 1/4 cups sugar, water, and 1 tsp vanilla; beat about 5 minutes or until mixture is thick and lemon colored. Beat in cooled chocolate mixture. Stir in the 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Spread half the batter in prepared baking pan; set pan and remaining batter aside.
In a medium mixing bowl beat the remaining 2 eggs, the remaining 1 tsp vanilla, cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp flour, and lemon juice with mixture until smooth. Spread evenly over batter in pan. Spoon remaining batter evenly over cream cheese mixture. Swirl batter with knife to marble. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Frost with chocolate glaze.
