Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by generously greasing with butter or non-stick spray.
- Create the foundational cake layer by thoroughly blending chocolate cake mix with egg and melted butter until a uniform consistency develops.
- Carefully press the cake mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even, smooth surface that covers the entire bottom of the pan.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, lump-free texture.
- Incorporate melted butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder into the cream cheese mixture, stirring meticulously until all ingredients integrate seamlessly.
- Gently cascade the gooey filling over the cake base, using a spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Transfer the assembled dessert to the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, watching for set edges and a slightly trembling center.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to rest and stabilize for 15-20 minutes, enabling the layers to settle and firm slightly.
- Slice and serve the decadent cake while warm, optionally garnishing with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of creamy ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect gooey texture by not overbaking the cake, ensuring the center remains slightly jiggly when removed from the oven.
- Chill the cake for enhanced flavor and easier slicing, allowing the layers to set and intensify the rich chocolate taste.
- Experiment with gluten-free cake mix for a celiac-friendly version, maintaining the decadent texture and indulgent chocolate profile.
- Customize the dessert by adding extra toppings like chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added complexity and visual appeal.
