How To Make gooey butter cake

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350º. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 pan.

  With a mixer, combine the cake mix, egg and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of the prepared pan and set aside.

  Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Pour in the butter and mix well again.
• 4

  Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don't bake it past that point.
