Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting buns)

How to Make Cheesy Chocolate Burger

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Allow the chocolate cake to cool for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Once cooled, cut the cake into 4 equal round patties, resembling burger patties.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sesame seed buns, cut side down, and toast until golden brown.
6. In the same skillet, place 2 of the chocolate patties. Top each with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and cover with a lid to melt the cheese, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Assemble your burger: Place a chocolate patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and top with the other half of the bun. Repeat with the remaining patties.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cake is completely cool before cutting to avoid crumbling.
• Use fresh, high-quality cheddar cheese for the best melting effect.
• For a visual twist, drizzle extra chocolate syrup over the assembled burgers before serving.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the cheddar cheese with a cream cheese frosting for a sweeter take.
• Add a layer of whipped cream between the patty and the top bun for extra decadence.
• Experiment with flavored cake mixes, like red velvet or marble, for a different color and taste.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Fresh fruit salad to balance the richness.
• Chocolate milkshakes for a fun drink option.
