Twix Gooey Butter Cakes

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• Bottom Layer
• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons whole milk
• Top Layer
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 2/3 cups powdered sugar (this is not an entire 16 ounce box)
• 10 fun sized Twix, each one chopped into 5 pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and kosher salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix together with the paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer works fine).
Add the egg, melted unsalted butter and milk. Mix to combine completely.

Press the dough evenly in the bottom of a lightly greased 9 by 13 baking pan. Set aside.

In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (a handheld mixer works too) mix the cream cheese until it’s smooth.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract and melted unsalted butter. Mix on medium speed until the batter is combined. Then add in the powdered sugar (do not sift it!) and mix until the batter is completely combined and smooth. If there are some lumps, it’s ok.

Pour the batter on top of the bottom layer. Spread it out evenly.

Take 10 fun sized Twix and chop each one into 5 pieces. Place them on top of the Gooey Butter Cake.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Be careful not to over bake the Gooey Butter Cake. It will look like it’s not done but it is. Once cooled, cut into pieces and enjoy!
