My sister makes this very wonderful Gooey Butter Cake. I can't remember where she got the recipe, but it is incredible. If you have a sweet tooth and want a fast, easy to make cake recipe then get your pen and paper ready because here it is! Email me and let me know how you liked it.
Prepare Cake
1 package of yellow cake mix
8 tablespoons of butter, melted (real butter please - it tastes better)
1 egg
Gooey Butter Filling
1 8 oz of cream cheese, (I like Philadelphia Cream Cheese) softened
2 eggs
1lb box of confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
1 tsp of vanilla
8 tablespoons of butter, melted (remember real butter!)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Combine the cake mix, egg and butter with an electric mixer and mix well. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. (please try and get the exact measurements for the pan. If the pan is too big you will have to add to the mixture to accommodate the size of the pan. If the pan is too small the cake filling will overflow and make a huge mess!)
Prepare the filling. (Yum yum. Try not to eat too much before filling the pan)
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and then add the eggs, vanilla and butter. Next add the powdered sugar (this is when the taste tests start) and mix well. If there is any batter left (yum yum), spread the batter in the cake pan and cook for 40to 50 minutes. Do not over cook! The center should be gooey and the topping will be slightly hardened.
I like to add a tiny bit of cinnamon to my filling. My sister also adds a sweet potato mixture to her cake. This is a recipe you can definitely experiment with.
