Gooey Butter Cake Recipe
This gooey butter cake has a rich cake mix crust topped with a luscious baked cream cheese layer. It's super easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 (18.25 ounce) ounce package yellow cake mix
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 4 pic large eggs, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 (8 ounce) ounce package cream cheese
- 4 cup confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your chosen pan - whether it's a loaf pan, mini loaf pan, 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square pan, or a round pan - with a small amount of butter.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder, then sieve them. Add salt to the mixture and stir well. Set this aside for now.
- Using either an electronic hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until they are well combined and the mixture turns pale yellow in color. This should take about 3 minutes.
- Add the first egg and beat it into the mixture. Repeat this process for each egg you add, beating for 1 to 2 minutes after each addition until the mixture turns creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- Next, add the vanilla extract and mix well. Fold in the flour mixture and stir until it is well combined. Finally, add the plain yogurt or whole milk to the batter and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan, and shake it lightly to distribute the batter evenly. Bake the cake until it turns golden brown and is fully cooked, which should take around 40 to 50 minutes. To prevent the top of the cake from becoming too brown, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil once the top is set. Use a cake tester to ensure that the cake is fully cooked.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Cut it into pieces and serve it warm. Enjoy!
