Nana P sure knows how to make her desserts! And this one doesn’t let you down….her Gooey Butter Cake is amazing! I love all desserts, but this one is at the top of my list for sure! I don’t think there has been a holiday yet that we haven’t had this dessert.

It is so simple to make and doesn’t call for a ton of different ingredients. The outside is more cake like while the center is ooey and gooey! To make it even more delightful, we always sprinkle a ton of powdered sugar on top. And if you ever want to do a twist on the recipe there is a ton of different variations you can try. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Cake:
1 18 1/4-ounce package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 16-ounce box powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Prepare Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and beat together.
Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.
