Brownie Cheesecake CUPCAKES!

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Well, well, well, I love the Brownie Cheesecake I made this year... And I love it dearly, but sometimes a big cake just isn't practical. You want to share, but not only with people who are in the same place. So cupcakes allow you to share food with all sorts of different people without bringing half-eaten cakes to a meeting or date. Tomorrow, we're having a team meeting at my new job, and food is always a good start for this kind of thing. The cupcake recipe is pretty similar to the big cake recipe, but the amounts and times are different, of course. To make things easier, I'm making a fresh post for the cupcakes.

Brownie Cheesecake

When I first saw this cake at the Grindcore House in Philadelphia, I knew I had to have it. :) Brownie Cheesecake. Is there a better way to combine things? After returning to my native Germany, I went to great lengths to develop the perfect recipe. I took me three tries to figure out a good brownie recipe, and my poor friends and colleagues all had to suffer the "not quite perfect" versions.

This is not a recipe that can be done if you don't have a bit of time on your hands. Doughs need to rest, brownies need to cool down fully. I would suggest you prepare the different parts the day before you want to have the cake and assemble the next day.

Some minor changes will have to be made the next time,
but I am already very happy with the first try.

Oh hai! <3

Glorious Oreo-free Raspberry Oreo Cheesecake

Oh my - best Easter Cake ever. I am also fairly certain that it works on other holidays or random days of the week. The recipe will follow as soon as I recover from quality family time, concert extravaganza, and general awesomeness with friends and other great people. I may also have to get some work done before I devote time to food blogging. ;)

But I promise: The recipe will follow. This is too good not to share it.

Now. Here is the recipe. Finally! :) I've had quite a few people - including our lovely couchsurfer Conor from New Zealand - ask for the recipe. 

Why "oreo-free" and still oreo? Because the original recipe asked for oreo cookies... and I decided to omit them and to make my own chocolate cake base etc. It works just fine and it's probably cheaper, too. And you don't have to buy palm oil oreos. :)
