Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 2/3 cups raspberries
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 teaspoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in eggs and vanilla until dough forms.
  3. Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set remaining dough aside for topping.
  4. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in raspberries.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Scatter about 2/3 cup raspberries over the filling. Spread remaining cheesecake mixture on top.
  6. Crumble the reserved dough over the top and sprinkle with remaining raspberries.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until golden brown and center is set. Cool completely.
  8. To make the glaze, stir together powdered sugar and milk or cream until desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter and do not overmix the dough. If the cake browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil. Store covered in the refrigerator.
