Gooey Butter Cake

Contributed by Charisse Stephens, Hilltop Second Ward

We got this recipe off a package of Kroger brand cream cheese, and it's now tied for my family's favorite dessert of all time.

Ingredients:

1 yellow cake mix
1/2 c. butter
3 eggs, divided
8 oz cream cheese
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar.

Directions:
  • Mix together cake mix, butter, and 1 egg.
  • Spread in bottom of 9 x 13 pan.
  • Beat together cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, and powdered sugar.
  • Pour over first layer.
  • Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar while warm.
