cup

8
oz
cream cheese

4
cups

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix chocolate cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter until a thick dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add remaining 2 eggs and vanilla extract, then mix well.
Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the base layer and spread evenly.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly gooey.
Let the cake cool before slicing and serving.

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth texture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
