How to make Gooey Butter Cake
I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post but here's a quick version.
Combine cake mix, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Press the bottom cake layer into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Mix together cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter with a hand mixer until creamy. Then add in confectioner sugar.
Spread over cake batter layer
Bake and cool! Make sure to cool completely before slicing.
Recipe Tips
Don't forget to set out the cream cheese and butter so it can reach room temperature.
Make sure to preheat oven to 350 degrees
We suggest spraying the pan with a bit of cooking spray so the parchment paper does not move around the prepared pan when you add the cake mix bottom layer.
Serve these Ooey Gooey Butter bars with a napkin or 3. They are definitely packed with butter and the bottoms of them can be a bit buttery.
Make sure to allow the bars to cool completely before serving.
