1cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
2 large eggs

For the Cheesecake Swirl:
8oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/4cup sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Brownie Batter:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Mix in the red food coloring.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and fold gently until just combined.
Reserve ¼ cup of the brownie batter for swirling, then spread the remaining batter evenly into the prepared pan.
2. Make the Cheesecake Swirl:
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy and smooth.
Add egg white and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3. Swirl & Bake:
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter.
Dollop the reserved brownie batter over the top.
Use a knife or skewer to create swirls for a marbled effect.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
