Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Make the Peanut Butter Topping:
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the topping is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Pour the peanut butter cream cheese mixture over the chocolate cake base, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Bake the Cake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients, particularly the butter, cream cheese, and eggs, are at room temperature before mixing. This helps the batter combine smoothly and prevents lumps.
- Gooey Texture: For an extra gooey texture, slightly underbake the cake. The center should be set but still jiggly when you remove it from the oven.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the cake warm for the best gooey experience. Pair it with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
