gooey butter cake W/Variations
1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
--Filling
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (16-ounce) box confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. In the
bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat
into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside. Still using an electric mixer,
beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioners'
sugar and beat well. Reduce speed of mixer and slowly pour in butter. Mix well.
Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
Don't be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven
temperatures can vary. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don't bake
it past that point!
