GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



 

This is a very gooey and delicious quick cake.  It disappears quickly so you don't have to worry about how to store it.  It is pretty popular around the St. Louis, Missouri area where it seems to have its roots in the 1940's. Originally the cake base was made from scratch but the modern cake mixes are so good and so easy.

 

Recipe:

Yellow cake mix

1 stick of butter

1 egg

Melt the butter and mix with egg.  Pour into bowl with cake mix.  Mix this using a spoon or fork.  Pan spray a 9 x 13 pan and press this mixture into it.  Set aside.

 

Soften an 8 oz. package of cream cheese and beat with 2 eggs.  Beat in about 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. 

 

Pour this mixture over the cake mixture in the pan. 

Bake at 350 degrees 30 - 40 minutes.
