Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 pieces ripe bananas, mashed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, 1 egg, and peanut butter. Mix until the ingredients form a smooth and thick dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even base layer.
In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the mashed bananas, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, remaining 2 eggs, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until fully combined and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese and banana mixture over the base layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden brown but the center remains soft and gooey.
Allow the gooey butter cake to cool in the baking dish for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve the cake slightly warm or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or slices of fresh banana for presentation.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
