Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions, substituting margarine for oil if required for the vegan version. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the cake layer for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the melted margarine and vanilla extract (if using) until combined.
  6. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled chocolate cake layer.
  7. In a small saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate with corn syrup over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour the chocolate glaze over the cream cheese layer, spreading gently to cover the entire surface.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the layers are set and firm. Slice and serve chilled.
