One of my sister-in-loves is from St. Louis and a popular sweet in that area is Gooey Butter Cake. Since she has been a part of our lives we've taken up making the recipe for certain occasions. Today it's the #SundaySweets star.
Gooey Butter Cake
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 stick butter
3 eggs
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease and flour 2 square cake pans. Mix together the cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla extract and the cream cheese. Pour over the cake mix mixture. Bake for 30-40 minutes until it is light brown around the edges. Cool and then sprinkle with the additional ½ cup powdered sugar.
You can make Gooey Butter Cookies instead of cake, here's that version:
*To make the cookies:
1 pkg moist yellow cake mix
1 stick unsalted butter, room temp
1 large egg, room temp
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix together into a thick dough. Spoon onto baking sheet in teaspoons, 350 for 8-9 minutes or until bottoms are just starting to turn golden. Cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Enjoy this deliciously sweet gooey butter treat!
