Recipe of the Day - Gooey Butter Cake

In my cooking adventures this year, I am going to try to make at least one dish each week that I have never made before.  I spent the other day going through one of Mom's recipe boxes and came across this cake recipe.  It is definitely in her handwriting even though I do not ever remember her making it.  But, as Ginny Brock pointed out to me, if she made it then it was good!  So true :)

I enjoyed trying this recipe out and I believe it turned out well.  I will definitely make it again! 

Gooey Butter Cake
In a small bowl, mix together:
     8 oz cream cheese, softened
     2 eggs
     1 teaspoon of vanilla
     1 box of confectioner's sugar

In a large bowl, mix together:
     1 box of white cake mix
     2 eggs
     1 stick of melted butter

The mixture in the large bowl will make a stiff batter.  Spread into a lightly greased 13x9 pan.  Spread the topping from the small bowl on top of batter.  Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Enjoy!
