    Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or by lining it with parchment paper.
    2. In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, oil, egg, and food coloring. The batter with be very thick. Reserve about 1/3 cup of the brownie batter/dough and press the remaining batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Add 3 tablespoons of water to the reserved batter to thin it; set it aside.
    3. To make the cheesecake topping, combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer. Beat until well combined. Pour on top of the brownie batter and spread evenly. Drop the reserved, thinned, brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and swirl the two layers together using a butter knife.
    4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set. Cool completely before slicing.
