gooey butter cake

OK, people. Here it is. I know you thought it was an urban legend. But I am actually sharing the infamous gooey butter cake recipe. This is definitely NOT one for those of you who are trying to lose weight in the new year. But if you are like me and you care more about spending time playing with your kids, than working out and dieting...ENJOY!

1 box yellow butter cake mix
1 stick butter, melted
3 eggs
2 C. powdered sugar
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 tsp vanilla

1. In large mixing bowl, mix, by hand, the cake mix, melted butter, one egg, and 1 tsp of the vanilla. Press onto bottom of a greased (or sprayed) 9X13 pan.

2. With mixer, mix powdered sugar, 2 eggs, cream cheese and 1 tsp vanilla. Beat at high speed for 3 minutes. Pour over cake mix in pan.

Bake 40 minutes (or less) @ 350. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
