Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine the cake mix, nutmeg, vanilla and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and mix just until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a clean mixer bowl with the paddle on medium speed until light and smooth, scraping the sides occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla bean paste and eggs and beat until smooth. Add the melted butter and beat until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed to incorporate, and then beat on medium until light and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour over the cake layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake until the edges are puffed and golden brown and the center is just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares to serve.

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for preparing the baking pan
One 15.25-ounce box classic yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for garnish
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs, room temperature

Steps:

  • For the bottom cake layer: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with the nonstick method of your choice. Line the pan with parchment paper, then grease the parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cake mix, butter and eggs until combined and thick. Evenly pat the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • For the gooey top layer: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, salt and eggs over low speed. Once the sugar is fully incorporated, turn the mixer speed to high. Continue beating until all ingredients are well blended.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan on top of the bottom layer and spread it evenly across the pan using a spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The center should still be gooey and will look under-baked.
  • Let cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve in the pan at room temperature.

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until blended. Add the eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and beat to combine. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in three parts, mixing well between each addition and scraping down the bowl to fully combine. Put the dough in the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer across the bottom.
  • For the gooey: Beat together the cream cheese and butter in the cleaned mixer bowl until combined. Using the low stir setting, add the confectioners' sugar and eggs in three parts, alternating between the two and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until combined. Mix in the vanilla and buttermilk. Pour the mixture over the dough in the pan and use a spatula to smooth over the top.
  • Bake until the cake has set and the edges are golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then dust with more confectioners' sugar before serving.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure even baking and a smooth batter.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • For a nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the cake batter.
  • For a funfetti version, add some rainbow sprinkles to the cake batter.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also bake the cake in a 9x13 inch pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a special treat.
