Yield: 12 large servings
Ingredients:
• 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz / 432g)
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)
For the gooey layer:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened (226g)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)
• 3 ½ cups powdered sugar (420g)
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (30g)
• ½ cup chocolate chips (85g)
How to make it:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
In a bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, egg, and melted butter until a thick dough forms.
-
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan to create the base layer.
-
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, mixing until creamy and fully combined.
-
Sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder, then mix until smooth and thick.
-
Fold in chocolate chips for extra melty pockets.
-
Pour the gooey chocolate layer over the crust and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes. The center should still look slightly soft—that’s what makes it ooey gooey!
-
Let the Chocolate Ooey Gooey Cake cool before slicing so the layers set but stay perfectly fudgy.
Serve slightly warm for maximum gooey goodness… maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top 😍
