Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and egg.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This forms a rich, chewy base.
Step 2: Make the Gooey Filling
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 3: Bake to Gooey Perfection
- Pour the filling over the cake base, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center remains gooey. (Don’t overbake—this cake is meant to be soft and fudgy in the middle!)
- Let the cake cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. The gooey center will set slightly as it cools.
Serving Suggestions
