Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan really well on all sides.
  2. Mix the base cake layer: In a large bowl mix the yellow cake mix with eggs and butter. Press this into the prepared pan, use your hands or a spatula to spread it over the entire surface.
  3. Mix the cheesecake layer: In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, butter, salt until smooth. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Pour over the cake layer in the pan.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until edges are golden brown. The middle may sink a bit.
  5. Finish and serve: Top with additional powdered sugar. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to grease your pan well to ensure the cake doesn't stick. Alternatively, you could line your pan with parchment paper.
  • Your ingredients should always be at room temperature, especially the cream cheese, otherwise you'll find it difficult to mix.
  • The cream cheese layer should be thoroughly mixed until smooth, at least for 3 minutes.
  • Store this gooey butter cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To freeze, tightly wrap any leftover cake with plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag or airtight container for 4-5 months.
