Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large eggs (for crust)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 large eggs (for filling)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3.75 cups powdered sugar
- N/A non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 large egg. Stir until fully incorporated into a thick dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust layer.
In another large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add 2 large eggs to the cream cheese and continue to beat until fully combined.
Gradually add 1/2 cup melted butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing between each addition until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust layer in the pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, but the center still has a slight jiggle to it.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired, slice into squares, and serve. Enjoy your Ooey Gooey Butter Cake!
