Gooey Butter Cake
12 servings
servings10 minutes
active time1 hour 55 minutes
total timeIngredients
1 box yellow cake mix (about 18 oz)
½ cup butter (melted)
3 eggs
1 8 oz package of cream cheese (softened)
½ tsp vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 casserole dish.
Mix
Empty cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Stir in melted butter and one egg.
Press the dough mixture into the casserole dish, evenly spreading out with a rubber spatula or clean fingers. (It should be slightly sticky).
Beat
In a large bowl, mix together two eggs, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat by hand or with an electric mixture until it is smooth and there are no lumps, about 3 minutes.
Pour over top of the pressed dough and evenly spread with a rubber spatula.
Bake
Place a sheet pan underneath the dish in the oven. (It can rise up and sometimes spill when baking). Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the top gets slightly golden brown crust.
Cool
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about an hour. Do not be tempted to cut into it early- it will be a mess. The cake will 'sink' slightly while cooling, which is normal.
Cut
Once cool, dust with a little powdered sugar and cut into squares. Store in a container at room temperature.
