Paula Deen

Southern chef maven Paula Deen made Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes a signature dessert at her restaurant The Lady & Sons. These buttery sweet bar cookies get better every day. The problem is they don’t last long! This is the basic recipe that is fabulous but feel to get creative with her variations.

Cake

1. 1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
2. 1 large egg
3. 1/2 cup butter, melted

Filling

1. 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2. 2 large eggs
3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4. 1 (16-ounce) box confectioners’ sugar
5. 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 13×9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, egg, and 1/2 cup melted butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Press into the bottom of prepared pan; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese at low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, beating well. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, mixing well. Pour evenly over cake mixture.
4. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until center is slightly set. Let cool completely, and cut into squares to serve.
