Cooking steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a 22x22 cm square pan with butter.

   • Chicken egg: 3 pieces
   • Cream cheese: 225 g

3. For the chocolate layer, pour water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and place a bowl with the remaining 175 grams of chopped chocolate and 50 grams of butter over the saucepan. Stir until everything melts. Add 100 grams of sugar and 2 eggs, then sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the mixture is smooth.

4. Pour half of the batter (chocolate) into the mold. On top, layer with cream cheese. Add the second half of the chocolate batter on the cream layer (it's okay if the cream filling shows through). Insert a knife vertically into the batter and make circular movements around the mold several times to achieve a marbled effect.
