Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box (18.25 oz.) yellow cake mix
1 egg
1 stick butter, melted
FILLING
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 3/4 c powdered sugar
1 stick butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 pan.
  • 2. With a mixer, combine the cake mix, egg and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of the prepared pan and set aside.
  • 3. 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.
  • 5. Remove from oven and allow to cook completely. Cut into squares.
  • 6. Lemon Gooey: Use a lemon cake mix in place of the yellow cake. Add the juice (approximately 1/4 cup) and zest of 2 lemons to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above. Peanut Butter Gooey: Use a chocolate cake mix. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and an extra egg to cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above. Chippy Gooey: Stir 1 cup white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, or Heath bits into filling. Proceed as directed above.
