Ooey Gooey Goodness

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

At least that is the name my Love gave me by request to bake.

So I did what everyone does...a Google search.

You do that right?

I found Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake recipe.

The recipe appeared very simple and easy.

I'm thinking to myself, a certified chef that can cook up fabulous meals from nothing wants me to bake up a simple cake?

So I did.

It is an easy recipe and it IS Ooey Gooey Good!

Rich and tasty.

We will be having this again.

Gooey Butter Cake

Cake:

1 regular package of yellow cake mix

1 egg

8 tablespoons butter (1 stick), melted

Filling:

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

8 tablespoons butter, melted

1 16-ounce box, powdered suger

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and butter; mix well with an electric mixer.  Put the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish.  It's really crumbly so I patted it into the dish. Prepare filling.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add the eggs, vanilla and butter; beat together.

Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well.  Spread over cake batter and bake for 40-50 minutes.  Make sure NOT to over bake as center should be a little gooey.

Garnish top, if desired with powdered sugar.

The reviews at the dinner table were Mmm mmm Good!
With a hearty 'Thanks'.
Sweet to be appreciated for a simple task.
I'm such a lucky gal.
Oh and it's mighty tasty with coffee too.

Who says you can't have cake for breakfast?
