Gooey Butter Cake
This is probably one of my favorite recipes ever. This is #2 on the Paula Deen site's "top ten". Mrs. Deen sure knew what she was doing (yes, I am obsessed with this woman). This is a dessert for a VERY special occasion because not only is is 412 calories per serving but it also calls for 2 sticks of butter (surprise surprise) and 1 whole box of powdered sugar. But that's what makes it mmmm mmm gooooood! The last time I made this, I don't even think I got a piece because it went so fast. YUM! (I will also mention that this heavenly confection comes in chocolate and pumpkin too :) yay! just google it)
Ingredients
Cake:
-1 (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
-8 tablespoons butter (melted)
-1 egg
Filling:
-1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-8 tablespoons butter (melted)
-1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 350
2) Combine the cake mix, egg, and stick of butter with an electric mixer until well combined, then pat the mixture into the bottom of a greased 13 X 9 baking dish
3) In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth
4) Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and beat until smooth
5) Add the powdered sugar and mix well
6) Pour over the mixture in the pan and bake for 40-50 minutes (center should be gooey--do not overbake)
