Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 egg (large)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix until fully incorporated and the texture of the batter is thick.
Step 3
Press the cake mix batter evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer. Set aside.
Step 4
In another large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
Step 5
Add the remaining 2 eggs and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue beating until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed at first to avoid a mess. Once all the powdered sugar is added, increase the speed and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Fold the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 8
Pour the cream cheese and chocolate chip mixture over the cake base in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly using a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly set but still gooey.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
