- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Stir until well blended.
- Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
- Slowly add 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) with a spatula.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake layer in the baking pan.
