Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble the cake: Spread the chocolate-cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared cake crust in the pan.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
