Number Of Ingredients 11

CRUST:
1 pkg. plain yellow cake mix
1 stick butter, melted
1 large egg
FILLING:
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 stick butter, melted
3-3/4 c confectioners sugar, sifted
1 pkg (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 and set aside a 13 x 9 pan, ungreased.
  • 2. For the crust, place the cake mix, melted butter and egg in a mixing bowl. Blend on low for 2 minutes. The batter should come together in a ball. Pat the batter evenly over the bottom of the 13 x 9 pan. Set aside.
  • 3. For the filling, place the cream cheese in the same mixing bowl and blend on low until fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla and melted butter and beat on medium for 1 minute. Add the confectioners sugar and beat until this is well incorporated. Place the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat (or you can microwave them, too) and cook, stirring until the chips are melted. Measure out 1 cup of the cream cheese filling and fold it into the chocolate mixture, stirring so the batter becomes well blended and all one color. Set aside.
  • 4. Pour the remaining filling onto the crust and spread with spatula so that the filling covers the entire surface. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the top of the filling, then swirl them with a dinner knife so the top of the batter has a marbled effect. Be careful not to cut through the crust.
  • 5. Bake 45-47 minutes. Remove the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool, 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

CRUST
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
FILLING
8 oz block cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
3-3/4 c powdered sugar
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray
  • 2. Start making the crust. In a medium bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter and egg. Beat together using an electric or stand mixer on low for 2 minutes. You'll notice the batter will start to pull away from the sides of the bowl
  • 3. Spread the batter into the bottom of your baking dish. It's best just to get in there with your hands to get it all evenly spread out
  • 4. Now make the filling. Using the same mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and beat on low until smooth. Add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Add in the confectioners sugar and mix everything together until smooth and well incorporated
  • 5. Place 1 cup chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl or dish. Microwave chips on high for about 1 minute (maybe longer depending on your microwave).
  • 6. Stir chips to make sure they all melted.
  • 7. Combine cream cheese filling with melted chocolate.
  • 8. Whisk together until well blended and all one color
  • 9. Pour vanilla cream cheese filling on top of crust and spread out evenly.
  • 10. Using a spoon, dollop chocolate filling on top of cream cheese filling.
  • 11. Using a butter knife, swirl the knife around so the top of the batter has a marbled effect. Be careful not to cut through the crust.
  • 12. Bake for about 45 minutes. Be careful not to overbake. Remember, this is gooey butter cake so you want that filling to stay a little soft
  • 13. Cool for at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect marbling effect, make sure to use two separate bowls for the vanilla and chocolate batters. Do not overmix the batters, as this will result in a less pronounced marbling.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality butter and chocolate. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the vanilla batter for an extra boost of flavor.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cake. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly and that the top does not brown too quickly.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If there is still batter clinging to the toothpick, bake the cake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

Marble gooey butter cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and gooey, chocolatey center, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give marble gooey butter cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
