How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Gooey Butter Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  3. Press the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, beating until well incorporated.
  6. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chocolate cake batter.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. For an extra touch, serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
