"GOOEY BUTTER CAKE" contributed by Natalie Roton
|
Crust
|
|
1 package (18.25 ounces) plain yellow cake mix
|
|
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
|
|
1 large egg
|
| Filling |
| 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature |
| 2 large eggs |
|
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
|
| 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted |
| 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted |
|
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set aside an ungreased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
For the crust, place the cake mix, melted butter, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for two minutes. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. The batter should come together in a ball. With your fingertips, pat the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan, smoothing it out with your fingers until the top is smooth. Set pan aside.
For the filling, place the cream cheese in the same mixing bowl that was used to make the crust, and with the same beaters (no need to clean either) blend with an electric mixer on low speed until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stop the machine and add the eggs, vanilla, and melted butter and beat until smooth. Spread filling over the crust in the pan.
Bake the cake until it is well browned but the center still jiggles when you shake the pan, 45 - 47 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
