Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cakes
- 2 sticks melted butter, divided
- 1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 3 to 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1 lb. box powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 c. chopped nuts
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Lightly grease a 13 by 9 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg and 1 stick melted butter and stir until well blended. Pat mixture into prepared pan and set aside.
- In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, and the cocoa powder. Lower the speed of the mixer and add the powdered sugar. Continue beating until ingredients are well mixed. Slowly add the remaining 1 stick of melted butter and the vanilla, continuing to beat the mixture until smooth. Stir in nuts with a rubber spatula. Spread filling over cake mixture in pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cake; the center should still be a little gooey when finished baking. let cake partially cool on a wire rack before cutting into pieces.
