BONNIE'S CHOCOLATE WALNUT GOOEY BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and place the rack in the CENTER of the oven.
• 2. Assemble all the ingredients before you begin. You will need a 9X13 inch pan and a hand mixer. Don't grease the pan.
• 3. Mix the cake mix, 18.25 ounce size so it will be enough mix to make a ball of dough. Add melted butter, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of Mexican vanilla. Stir on low to mix with a hand mixer for one minute. Finish mixing the ingredients with a wooden spoon. It will be a stiff dough in the shape of a ball.
• 4. Put the dough ball in the 9X13 inch pan and pat it down and outward with your fingers. Work it evenly and 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. SAVE THE BOWL AND THE BEATERS for the filling, no need to wash them.
• 5. Add the chocolate chips and the chopped nuts to the pan, and spread them evenly over the crust.
• 6. Mix the cream cheese together until fluffy. Then add the vanilla and the eggs. Beat with a hand mixer 1 minute on low, then scrape the bowl down and beat one minute on more on medium until smooth. Now add the 3 3/4 cups of confectioner's sugar. Beat on 1 minute on medium speed until well mixed.
• 7. Scrape the sides down with a spatula. Pour the filling onto the chocolate cake mixture in the baking pan. Cover evenly.
• 8. Smooth the filling with a spatula. Spread it out so it covers the entire pan up to the sides of the crust. It is ready to bake.
• 9. Bake 40 minutes or so in the 350 degree oven until the sides pull away and are set, and the center jiggles slightly, and starts to turn a light carmel color. Here is what it looks like when it is baked. Cool on a wire rack. When almost cool, slice intoa bar shape -- about 20 slices. I slice once lenthgwise and then turn the pan and slice across it. You should get 20 slices.
• 10. Have a slice of this gooey cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
