Paula Deen Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Mix

Paula Deen’s Ooey Gooey Butter Cake is a layered dessert with a cake-like crust made from cake mix and a creamy, gooey filling made with cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. It’s rich, sweet, and incredibly satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

    • 1 box yellow cake mix

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

    • 1 large egg

For the Filling:

    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 4 cups powdered sugar

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and prepare

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the crust

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

    • Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Prepare the filling

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

    • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.

    • Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Assemble and bake

    • Pour the filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 5: Cool and serve

    • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Slice into squares and serve at room temperature or chilled.
