Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Recipes

Being the dessert lover that I am, I am constantly on the lookout for new gourmet desserts. I have found a new one and it is being added to the holiday recipe box.

Butter cake, made popular by Paula Deen, is a melt in your mouth dish of pure perfection. It is more of a cheesecake texture with the rich flavors that southerners like me adore. If you are someone who claims to not like cake, then I hope to turn you around. Just give this butter cake recipe a try and I promise that you will have a new respect for cakes. I'm hungry so let's get on to the recipe.

Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Prepare Filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and beat together.

Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.
