Ingredients:
For the Cake Layer:
1 package (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the Ooey Gooey Layer:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
reheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cake Layer: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, 1 egg, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Mix until well blended. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Make the Ooey Gooey Layer: In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 3 eggs, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Beat until well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans. Pour this mixture over the cake layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Do not overbake; the center should be a little gooey.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve and enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness with a unique texture that’s both cakey and gooey.
