Gooey Butter Cake

Leave it to Paula Deen to come up with something so easy, yet so amazing.

The name says it all.

It's gooey, it's buttery, it's rich, it's practically life-changing.

This dessert is guaranteed to satisfy the sweetest sweet tooth out there.

It's well worth the extra 30 minutes on the treadmill. Ok, maybe an hour.

Bottom layer:

1 yellow cake mix

1 egg

1 cube butter, melted

Filling:

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cube butter, melted

*Combine cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and butter. Beat well. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over cake batter and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Top with whipped cream if you're feeling crazy.
