Ingredients
Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix: 15 ¼ oz (such as Betty Crocker®)
Salted Butter: ½ c, melted
Eggs: 4, divided
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp (Optional)
Cream Cheese: 1 (8 oz) package, softened
Cocoa Powder: 5 tbsp
Powdered Sugar: 4 c
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking pan measuring 9×13 inches by greasing it.
In a bowl combine the chocolate fudge cake mix, melted butter, 2 eggs and vanilla extract (if desired). Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the greased baking pan.
In another bowl use a mixer to blend the cream cheese and cocoa powder. Add the remaining 2 eggs. Gradually incorporate the sugar while beating until it forms a fully mixed consistency.
Pour the cream cheese mixture, over the cake base, in the pan ensuring even distribution. Place it in your preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before cutting and serving. This step is essential as it helps to set the cake and enhances its gooey texture.
