Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
16 oz powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, egg, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the melted butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until everything is well combined.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the cake layer in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden. The center should remain soft and gooey.
- Let the dessert cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an even more intense chocolate flavor, stir in a handful of chocolate chips into the filling mixture before pouring it over the cake layer.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with chocolate syrup to enhance the dessert’s indulgence.
- Try substituting the chocolate cake mix with a vanilla or red velvet mix for a different twist.
