From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Cheesecake mixture
Preheat the oven to 150C fan oven/160C or 315F electric oven/Gas 2 and butter and flour a 23 cm square cake tin. Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat, add the sugar and stir, then leave to cool slightly. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the eggs to the chocolate mixture, beating after each one until it is very glossy. Lightly fold in the flour and set aside.
Beat the cream cheese with the sugar in a bowl for the cheesecake mixture. Add the vanilla essence and egg and mix. Spread the chocolate mixture in the prepared tin evenly Top with the cheesecake mixture and using a sharp knife, gently swirl it into the chocolate mixture. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Leave to cool in the tin for 15-20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
