GOOEY CAKE

By Lutie

Peter’s Aunt Mary Tinnerello gave me this recipe after I tasted her cake at a family gathering. She was a wonderful cook and this cake proves it.

Ingredients

• 1 Box (17 oz.) pound cake mix
• 1/2 Cup butter, melted
• 4 Eggs
• 1 Pkg. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 Tsp. vanilla
• 1 Box (l lb.) powdered sugar
• 1/2 Cup sliced almonds

Preparation

Step 1

Combine cake mix, butter and 2 eggs. Stir until well blended. Beat 1 minute. Spread batter in greased 13x9” pan. Beat cream cheese and add two eggs and vanilla. Set aside ½ cup powdered sugar. Beat in balance of powdered sugar (I never added it all - I stopped at about ¾). Pour evenly over cake batter. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
