Gooey Chocolate Butter Cake
Ingredients
  • 15 1/4 ounces chocolate fudge cake mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
  • 4 eggs, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking pan by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that your cake releases easily once it's baked.
3
Meanwhile, combine the contents of a cake mix with softened butter, two eggs, and a hint of vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use your hands or a spoon to blend the ingredients together until they form a cohesive mixture.
4
Now, take this cake mixture and press it into the prepared baking pan. Make sure to evenly distribute the mixture across the entire surface of the pan.
5
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, cocoa powder, and the remaining two eggs using an electric mixer. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar into this mixture while continuously beating it with the mixer.
6
Once you've achieved a smooth consistency, pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake layer in the pan.
7
Place your baking pan in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This should take approximately 45 minutes.
8
Finally, remove your cake from the oven and let it cool before serving.
