Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Stir until the mixture forms a soft, cohesive dough. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Step 3

In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, 2 large eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat on low speed until fully combined and fluffy. This is your topping mixture.

Step 4

Scoop out 1 cup of the topping mixture and place it into a smaller bowl. Add the cocoa powder and milk to this smaller portion, and mix until smooth and fully incorporated to create the chocolate layer.

Step 5

Pour the remaining vanilla cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Dollop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture on top of the vanilla layer. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the chocolate mixture into the vanilla layer, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to disturb the crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly gooey. Avoid overbaking, as the gooey texture is key to this cake.

Step 8

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 to serve.

Step 9

Enjoy your rich and indulgent Chocolate Marble Gooey Butter Cake with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
