Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs. Mix until well blended to form a thick dough-like consistency.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust layer.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add the remaining 2 large eggs and the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the filling mixture.
Step 7
Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy this rich, buttery dessert with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
