Ingredients
Scale
1 box red velvet cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour half of the red velvet batter into the prepared baking pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then pour the remaining red velvet batter on top.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
Serve warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a firmer slice.
This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
