We Love Gooey Butter Cake/Bars. I dont make these alot because I love them so much & eat too many. I finally broke down & made a batch after my poor husband asked me about 7 months ago to make some, lol.
Gooey Butter Cake/Bars
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. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares.
man do those sound sweet! I don't think they would last long around here.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteI might try it sometime when I have other people around to help eat it. ;-)
I love making these. Around here they are called Cream Cheese Bars.
