How to Make Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
Ingredients:
Bottom layer:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 egg
- 8 tablespoons butter (melted)
Top layer:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 2 eggs
- 8 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 box (16 oz) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter. Stir until blended. Press this into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Mix until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Pour this cream cheese mixture over the bottom cake layer in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The center should still be soft and gooey, so don’t overbake.
- Let it cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
