Ingredients Needed:

• 1 (18 1/4 oz) package yellow cake mix
• 1 egg
• 16 tablespoons melted butter, divided
• 1 (8 oz) package of softened cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar

How To Make This Ooey Gooey Butter Cake:

1. Prepare the cake base: In a bowl, mix together the yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and 8 tablespoons of melted butter. Pat this mixture into the bottom of a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.
2. Make the topping: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add 2 eggs, vanilla, and 8 tablespoons melted butter, then mix. Gradually blend in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
3. Assemble the cake: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake base.
4. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes. The center should remain slightly gooey. Allow it to cool before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Soften the cream cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the mixture.
• Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the cake while baking. The center should be slightly gooey, not fully set, to get that perfect texture.
• Use parchment paper: Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
• Sift the powdered sugar: Sifting helps prevent lumps in the cream cheese mixture and makes the topping smoother.
• Let it cool before cutting: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing so that it holds its shape better.

How To Store Leftovers

In the Fridge: Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

In the Freezer: You can freeze slices of the cake for up to 3 months. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
