For the Cake Crust
- 1 package chocolate cake mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
For the Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/16 cup (1 tablespoon) butter, melted
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Make the cake crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the cake crust.
- Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
- Add sugar and butter to filling: Slowly add the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon (1/16 cup) melted butter to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the cake: Spread the chocolate-cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared cake crust in the pan.
- Bake the cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The center should still have a slight gooeyness when done, ensuring the perfect ooey gooey texture.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool before slicing to help it set. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Ooey Gooey Cake!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly gooey for the perfect texture.
- You can add chocolate chips to the filling for extra chocolate bursts.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat briefly before serving.
- This cake pairs well with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
