Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 16 oz (454 grams) powdered sugar
  • 8 oz (226 grams) cream cheese, softened

Cake Base:

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
  • 1 egg

Filling Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mix the chocolate cake mix with egg and melted butter until a cohesive dough forms. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even base layer.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese with eggs and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  4. Incorporate melted butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder into the cream cheese mixture, blending thoroughly until no lumps remain.
  5. Carefully cascade the cream cheese filling over the initial cake layer, ensuring complete and even coverage.
  6. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Look for a slightly golden top with a center that remains delightfully soft and luxuriously gooey.
  7. Allow the cake to rest and slightly cool for approximately 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving, which helps set the texture and enhances flavor integration.

Notes

  • Customize the cake mix by selecting dark, milk, or white chocolate varieties to match your flavor preference.
  • Enhance richness by using high-quality cocoa powder and adding a pinch of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate taste.
  • Adjust texture by reducing baking time for an extra gooey center or extending it slightly for a firmer consistency.
  • Transform into gluten-free version by selecting a gluten-free cake mix and ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
