How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Gooey Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. 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. Mix until just combined.
  4. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 2 large eggs until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  7. Gradually add 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter to the filling, mixing until smooth.
  8. Pour the peanut butter filling over the chocolate crust.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the pan and the filling is lightly browned but the center is still very gooey. Check for doneness at 25 minutes.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. The cake will continue to set as it cools.
