Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
-
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions, substituting margarine for oil if specified, and set aside half of the batter.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until combined.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and margarine together in a microwave or double boiler. Let cool slightly, then stir into the cream cheese mixture along with the corn syrup.
-
Spread the reserved half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter layer.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cake batter over the top of the cream cheese layer, spreading gently to cover without mixing it in completely.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake layer (not the filling) comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
