Gooey Butter Cake ~ It's Good Y'all!

First you need these ingredients

Then mix the cake mix, butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 3 eggs

It will be a thick consistency, pat into your 9x13 (I used 10in and 8in round)

Then mix the gooey goodness (Cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2tsp vanilla and slowly beat in the powdered sugar). Pour over the cake.

Bake @ 350 x 40-45 minutes


So I searched on the internet for a butter cake recipe and found this Gooey Butter Cake recipe
I made it for my mom's birthday party (only I made cupcakes using this recipe) and they were a big hit! So now I am testing this out for my sister-in-laws up coming 25th anniversary vow renewal reception. For the test cake, I made my Aunt Jeanette's delicious chocolate frosting:

1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk or cream
5 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla

Combine sugar and cream in medium saucepan, stir until comes to a boil. Reduce heat. Let simmer 6 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir. Stir in butter and vanilla. Chill. Beat with a mixer.

I doubled the cake recipe because I was trying to make a two tier cake (2 10inch rounds on the bottom and 2 8 inch rounds on top), my layers kind of sank in the middle of my 10 inch rounds so I'm not sure I will use this recipe for the reception.



I must say, this is one delicious cake and I'm usually not a cake lover.
