Description
This Chocolate Pecan Ooey Gooey Butter Cake offers a delightful fusion of chocolate and pecan flavors, wrapped in a gooey, buttery texture that is simply irresistible.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- ½ cup melted butter (unsalted preferred, but salted works too)
- 3 large eggs (divided)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk, based on preference)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and one egg until a dough-like consistency forms. Press the mixture evenly in the baking dish to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract; mix until creamy. Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes until the top is set but slightly gooey in the center.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results. You can store leftovers for up to three days in the refrigerator.
