directions

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, and line bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, prepare the cake mix as stated on the box; spoon out into a bowl, do not wash the processor bowl.
  • For the brownies: using the processor, blend the melted butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; blend/PULSE with the processor until combined (do not add in the chocolate chips, they are placed on top).
  • Pour the batter into prepared baking pan.
  • Spoon/dollup the cake mix batter on top of the chocolate batter, and swirl in gently with a knife (just a bit, do not swirl too much!).
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the brownie part seems to be done, and the cake has risen, but is not getting too browned.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over top while cake is hot.
  • Let stand for 6-8 minutes, the spread with a knife.

  1. These were delicious, however, they were not what I expected. I had hoped and expected a dense chocolate brownie layer with a cream cheese type swirl. Instead, the cake mix and the brownie layer were thin batters that baked up to look and taste like a chocolate vanilla swirl cake. I used real butter and 6 eggs in the brownie layer and 3 eggs in the cake layer (I used Betty Crocker French Vanilla) with 1/3 cup oil and 1 1/4 cups water. Once mixed together, it was a very thin batter. Additionally, the brownie layer, being made with 6 eggs, would have a cake-like texture. To get a more "fudgy" brownie, less eggs should be used it that layer. So, although this was a rich dessert, I would say it is a cake not a brownie bar. Oh, and the melted chocolate chips on the top were delicious..
