Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling

How to Make Cheesy Chocolate Burger

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Divide the batter into four equal portions and pour each portion onto the prepared baking sheet to form round patties, about ½ inch thick. Make sure they are evenly spaced.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the patties to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  5. While the patties are cooling, place shredded cheddar cheese on top of each chocolate patty and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Toast the burger buns in the oven for a few minutes until lightly golden.
  7. Assemble your burger by placing a cheesy chocolate patty on the bottom half of each bun. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired, and top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your chocolate patties are cooled slightly before adding cheese to prevent it from sliding off.
  • If you want a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cake mix.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, like cream cheese or even a sweet cheese spread, for a unique twist.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the cheddar cheese for a cream cheese frosting for a sweet twist.
  • Add a layer of fresh fruit, like strawberries or bananas, between the patties for added flavor and texture.
  • Use gluten-free chocolate cake mix to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive diners.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Sweet potato fries for a sweet and savory contrast.
  • Fresh fruit salad to balance the richness of the burger.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until warmed through.
