Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

2 large eggs

1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Add the cake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until a soft, thick dough forms.

4. Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles (if using) until evenly distributed.

5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Top with extra chocolate chips or sprinkles if desired.

6. Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set (do not overbake for a chewy texture).

7. Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and transfer to a serving plate. Decorate with frosting, more sprinkles, or serve as is. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For even more gooey bites, press a few extra chocolate chips into the top before baking.

Don’t overbake! The center should look just set for the chewiest cookie cake.

Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate, butterscotch, or add festive sprinkles for a twist.
