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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the dough base in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the dough completely.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Step 8
Serve at room temperature and enjoy the rich, gooey sweetness of Mrs. Knobbes Gooey Butter Cake!
