Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake

Very few chef''s do "butter" better than Paula.

I knew that I would love this recipe before it was made.

I was not disappointed!

The recipe says to bake it for 40-50 mins, I checked it at 45 minutes

and wished I'd checked 5 minutes sooner.

Make sure the center is slightly giggly when you take it out:)

Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake:

Cake:
1 yellow or white cake mix, dry
1 egg
1 stick of butter, melted

Filling:
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 stick of butter, melted
1 16 oz (1lb) box of powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine cake mix, egg and butter in a bowl. Mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan. Prepare filling.

In another 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 filling over the cake batter and bake for 40-50 mins. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.

Bon Appetit!
