Ingredients
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) plus 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup (3 3/4 ounces) all purpose flour
1/4 cup (3/4 ounce) cocoa

Procedures
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9- by 9-inch baking pan.
In large bowl set over pan of simmering water, melt butter with chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in salt, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and sour cream. Add flour, cocoa, and baking powder to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Drop blobs of batter into the pan. Do not spread.
In another large bowl, stir cream cheese with remaining 4 tablespoons sugar until smooth with no lumps. Whisk in remaining teaspoon vanilla and remaining egg. Drop blobs of cheesecake batter into pan in any of the empty spots or crevices.
