Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil's food cake mix
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil's food cake mix, melted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust layer. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the remaining 2 eggs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth.
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Do not overbake; the center should remain gooey.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
