Scale
- For the Base:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Make the Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and eggs until well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. - Prepare the Filling:
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, melted butter, eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined. - Assemble:
Pour the filling over the cake base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. - Bake:
