Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 8 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 large Eggs
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until a soft dough forms and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining 2 eggs and vanilla extract, then blend until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed to avoid a mess. Once combined, increase speed to medium and beat until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the dough base in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the dough completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just slightly jiggly. Do not overbake; the gooey texture comes from the slightly underdone center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy the rich, gooey sweetness of Mrs. Knobbes Gooey Butter Cake!
