Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Ready for something delicious? This recipe is so yummy it literally melts in your mouth. I first tried it at a dinner night with friends from my ward and it was so delicious I had to get the recipe. It sort of reminds me of peach cobbler... just the cobbler part though. Anyway it is delicious and my family loved it when I made it for them for Sunday dinner.

Cake Ingredients:

• 1 (18.25 oz) box of yellow cake mix
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (you can also use margarine)

Filling Ingredients:

• 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
• 1/2 c. butter, melted (again margarine works just as well)

Garnish Ingredients:

• Whipped Cream
• Strawberries (diced)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, egg, and 1/2 cup melted butter at medium speed until combined. Press into the bottom of prepared pan; set aside.
3. In another large bowl, beat cream cheese at low speed until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, mixing well. Pour evenly over cake mixture.
4. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until center is slightly set. Cool completely. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries.

I didn't take any pictures of this when I made it but you can just imagine a beautiful yellow cake layer on bottom, a creamy center, and a garnish of whipped cream and strawberries. Next time I make this I'm going to try to top it with peaches because I think it would be really yummy. It is so delicious! Try it and be sure to leave a comment how you liked/didn't like it or any suggestions. See you tomorrow!
