Ingredients

18.25 oz	chocolate cake mix (1 package)
3	large eggs
1 cup	unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
8 oz	cream cheese, at room temperature
3-4 tbsp	unsweetened cocoa powder, to taste
16 oz	confectioners' sugar
1 tsp	vanilla extract
1 cup	unsalted nuts, chopped
	whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly butter a 9-by-13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg and 1/2 cup of the melted butter. Stir until well blended. Pat the mixture into the pan. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the remaining 2 eggs and the cocoa powder and beat until well mixed.
Reduce speed and add confectioners' sugar. Beat until well mixed.
Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup melted butter and the vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the nuts.
Spread the filling over the batter in the pan.
Bake the cake for 40 to 50 minutes. The center should still be a little gooey.
Let partially cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.
