Cookbook:Gooey Butter Cake

This rich dessert originates from Saint Louis, Missouri, USA.

Ingredients

 * 1 box (18.25 oz) of yellow cake mix
 * 3 eggs
 * 8 oz butter
 * 8 oz cream cheese
 * 1 tsp vanilla extract
 * 1 lb confectioners sugar

Procedure

 * 1) Combine the cake mix, one egg, and 4 oz butter to create a stiff dough.
 * 2) Spray a 9 × 13-inch pan with oil. Spread the dough evenly in the pan and up the sides.
 * 3) Melt the remaining butter, and mix the remaining ingredients to create the filling, adding the cream cheese and then the confectioner's sugar last. Gently warming the cream cheese aids mixing.
 * 4) Pour the filling into the crust, and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Allow to cool and firm up.
