For the Cake Base
  • 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix Feel free to swap with your favorite mix, like red velvet or vanilla.

For the Gooey Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened for best results.
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar Reduce the amount if you prefer less sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for best flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.

  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares.
