Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and one egg for the crust. Mix well until a dough forms.

  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform layer. Set aside.

  4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the two eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter, and mix until well combined.

  5. Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth and creamy.

  6. Pour the gooey cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.

  8. Allow the Deep Gooey Butter Cake to cool completely before slicing into squares. For an extra touch of indulgence, dust the top with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
