After looking at my Pinterest tonight I realized that, yes, I do have the ingredients to make Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake. Yes, of course, I proceeded to make it and, no, there is no need for a single person to make a butter cake. I looked up the recipe on her website and realized Paula's son, Bobby, has come up wiith a lighter version of the original recipe. (I guess since Mama Deen has diabetes now.) After closer inspection I decided if I was going to eat butter cake I might as well go all out. I grew up eating these, but my Mama always called them cream cheese brownies. This recipe is defintley something you only eat a couple of times a year. (It calls for 2 sticks of butter and lots of powdered sugar!)
It is a pretty simple recipe and easy to make! The ingredients are as follows
Cake:
1 18 1/4-ounce package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 16-ounce box powdered sugar
Click here for the complete recipe from Ms. Deen's website. Trust me you will gain extra pounds just eating a couple, but it is definitely worth it. Enjoy!
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
