Gooey Butter Cake Recipe - MAMA RECIPE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Mix cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Pat gently into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Using a stand or hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump free. Turn the mixer to low and 2 eggs one at a time and mix just until incorporated. Mix in vanilla extract. Mix in powdered sugar in several increments blending just until combined. Pour this mixture on top of the layer in the baking dish. Do NOT mix the two layers together. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar when fully cooled.

Coat the baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray to prevent the crust from sticking and to make it easier to remove this soft, gooey cake from the pan.
Soften the cream cheese and bring the eggs to room temperature.
Load the cake on the middle rack in the center of the oven
For best results on the top layer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Then, turn the mixer to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Keeping the mixer on low, add the vanilla and powdered sugar (in intervals), mixing just until incorporated.
