To make cream cheese mixture:

WHISK together cream cheese and yogurt in a small bowl until completely smooth. Add sugar and egg yolk and whisk again; set aside.
PREHEAT oven to 325ºF. Coat 13-by-9-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
WHISK together flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
COMBINE butter and chocolate in large heat-proof bowl; set over saucepan of barely simmering water and stir often until melted and combined. Remove from heat.
WHISK sugar into chocolate mixture, then whisk in yogurt and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in flour mixture until well blended.
SCRAPE batter into prepared dish. Spoon dollops of cream cheese mixture on top and swirl with spoon or spatula to create marbled effect, reaching down into chocolate batter and not overdoing it.
