Paula Dean's Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Recipe
Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 Box of Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
  • 1, 18 ounce package of cream cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 8 stick of unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups of confectioners sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven In a bowl with an electric mixer, mix together the cake mix, egg and melted butter.
  2. Pour the mixture into a greased square or rectangular pan. Firmly press down with a spatula until smooth and even
  3. In that same bowl (which should be clean because the previous crust mixture should have formed somewhat of a solid mass) beat the cream cheese until light and smooth.
  4. Then add the eggs, vanilla, and butter. Blend well.
  5. Lastly, add the confectioners sugar and blend on high for about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and bake for 40-50 minutes. (I baked closer to 50 and I regret it. I was afraid of under-cooking it too much but don't be! that's the point!) Next time I will only bake for 40.
  7. Let it cool completely and sprinkle gently with confectioners sugar
