1/2 t Baking powder

1/4 t Salt

4 oz Unsweetened chocolate

3 T Unsalted butter

2 Eggs

(From "San Francisco Encore," by the Junior League of San Francisco.)

Butter a 9 square pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Melt the chocolate with the butter. Remove from heat

2 eggs until foamy. Add the

3/4 cup

sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Continue beating until light

lemon-colored. Beat in the chocolate mixture and then the dry

ingredients. Mix well. Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture. To the

remainder, stir in 1/2 cup of the nuts. Spread this mixture into the

prepared pan.

Preheat oven to 350'F. Beat the cream cheese with the butter until

1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 cup sugar and beat until

fluffy. Beat in the 1 egg. Spread cheese mixture over the chocolate

layer. Place heaping tablespoons of the reserved 3/4 cup chocolate

mixture over the cheese, forming 8 or 9 mounds. With a small spatula

of knife, cut through the mounds in a zigzag layer, going almost but

not quite through the bottom. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup

nuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for a few

hours before cutting.

Makes 24 brownies.
