Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1¾ cups all-purpose flour

1¾ cups granulated sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1½ tsp baking soda

1½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 cup whole milk

½ cup vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

 

Directions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, vanilla, and flour. Mix until creamy and well combined. Set aside.

Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).

Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Carefully pour the remaining cake batter over the top.

Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve as-is or with a dusting of powdered sugar or chocolate drizzle.
