Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate cake batter and swirl gently to create a marbled effect.
Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped walnuts over the top and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
