Gooey Butter Cake

Serves 15 to 20

One 18 ¼ ounce package yellow cake mix                   

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted

1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine ingredients and mix well.  Pat into a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.  Prepare filling.

Filling

One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 eggs                                                                         

1 teaspoon vanilla

one 16-ounce box powdered sugar

Beat cream cheese until smooth.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Add butter; beat.  Add powdered sugar and mix well.  Spread over cake mixture.  Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.  You want the center to be a little gooey, so do not overbake.

Variations:

1.      For the holidays, add a 15-ounce can of pumpkin to the filling;  add cinnamon

and nutmeg.

2.      Add a 20-ounce can of drained crushed pineapple to the filling.

3.      Use a lemon cake mix.  Add lemon juice and zest to the filling.

4.      Use a chocolate cake mix with cream cheese filling.  Add chocolate chips and nuts on top.

5.      Use a spiced carrot cake mix.  Add chopped nuts and shredded carrots in the filling.

6.      Use mandarin oranges, bananas, blueberries, or strawberries – just coordinate your extract flavorings.

7.      Use a chocolate cake mix.  Add ¾ to 1 cup peanut butter and nuts to the filling.

Enjoy!
