How To Make Gooey Butter Cake

This ooey gooey butter cake recipe by Pure Food on YouTube shows how to make a simple southern dessert. I love gooey butter cake, but I’ve never tried to make it myself. I didn’t realize how easy it is to make with simple ingredients. The prep time for this cake is about 15 minutes and overall it takes about 1 hour. This would be a great cake for those that love sweet desserts. Plus, I like how it uses a boxed cake mix which makes the recipe even easier. I can only imagine how the cake would taste because it looks super moist. It’s one of my favorite southern desserts and this recipe calls for shortcuts.

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Filling:

• 1 package cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 4 cups confectioners sugar

Directions:

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, vanilla extract, and the melted butter. Mix everything together with a fork until fully combined. Press the cake mixture as flat as possible into the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Continue to watch Pure Food tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, pour the cream cheese filling over the cake batter. Bake for about 35-45 minutes. Make sure the edges are golden brown, and it will still be slightly jiggly in the center. Do not overtake.

Ooey gooey butter cake is meant to have a rich and moist center filling that just hugs your mouth when you take a bite. I love how simple and sweet it is because it has a buttery flavor. Sometimes the best recipes are the ones that do not require complicated steps and ingredients.
