Gooey Butter Cake w/less sugar

By aohmc

I adopted this easy making and delicious cake from Paula Deen's recipe. It's not those diet and less fat cakes and that's why they are so yummy and gooey! I used 1 cup less sugar than the original recipe and still sweet enough for me. Eat small piece even you may want more...stay healthy.

Ingredients

• For the cake crust:
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 stick butter (8 Tbsp.), at room temperature
• 1 egg
• For gooey filling:
• 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 stick butter, at room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all cake crust ingredients with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until crumbly. Place the cake mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. Press down and flat with hands evenly. Set Aside.

Whisk cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla and sugar, whisk until well blend and creamy. Pour over the cake mixture.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake 45-50 minutes until golden brown, center should be gooey. Cool down in the oven for at least 20 minutes before taking it out. Let cool completely before cutting into small piece.
