Ooey Gooey Cake

It's Spring here in Utah, so who wants to be indoors baking all day?  Well we're here to help you out!  This easy dessert is quick to throw together so that you can "have your cake & eat it too"... & still have time to enjoy the sunshine! 
This Southern original is sure to please everyone!

Just as the name implies, this is a rich & gooey bar like cake.
I love the flaky top & moist center!
Slice it up & serve warm or cold for your next brunch or Holiday potluck.


Gooey Butter Cake
1 Box French Vanilla cake mix
1 egg
1 stick of butter, melted

Filling
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick of butter, melted
1 16-ounce (1lb) powdered sugar

 Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well.

Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13” baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy & smooth.

Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and beat together.

Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well. (You may wish to reserve a couple of

Tablespoons of powdered sugar for dusting on top of your finished cake.)

Spread filling over cake batter and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Do NOT over bake! The center should be a little gooey.

Let cool, & sprinkle reserved powdered sugar on top.  Serve warm or cold.
