Paula Deen's Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

I made this recipe the other day to take to a special friend for Christmas.  It's an easy recipe to make and it is a great gift to give to someone.  I made it in a disposable pan but you could also make it in a 9x13 baking dish.

I added a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.  You can do that if you like.

 This recipe doesn't take much to make.  Just a little time.

 Start by melting 1 stick of butter or 8 Tablespoons.

 Add the yellow cake mix to the butter.

 Add 1 egg.

 Mix.  The batter will be thick.

 Spray the bottom of your baking dish.  Then press the cake batter in the bottom.  Try to make it even.

 Then take 8 oz of softened cream cheese.

 1 teaspoon vanilla

 2 eggs

 Mix well.

 Then add a 1 lb box of confectioners sugar.  Now I buy my powdered sugar in bulk to I had to search for how many cups that would be.  I found two answers: 3 1/2 and 3 3/4 cups.  So I used somewhere in the middle of those two.

 Mix that well.

 Pour on top of the crust.  Spread it out.  Place in a preheated 300 oven.  Bake for 40-50 minutes.   You want it to be nice and golden brown but still a little jiggly in the middle.

And this is the finished product.  Good enough to eat. If you like this type of cake there are many different variations of it.
