Oooey Gooey Cake

Have you ever had melt in your mouth - taste like heaven cake...well if not you wait is over...Paula Deen
makes a whole slew of different versions of Gooey Butter Cakes that delicious beyond words!?!
So good in fact that even Walmart sells them by the half cake - or in a lot of peoples opinion a piece!?! It is 6.7 oz of amazing goodness for a reasonable $2.98!?!
I must admit this cake is rich -but- it is oooooooooooo sooooooooo goooooooood!?!
My favorite of course is the Chocolate version -but- if you use google you can find recipes for all different kinds!?!

Here is a recipe for one of the versions - I hope you enjoy it:


Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cakes


Ingredients
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus 8 more tablespoons (1 stick) butter,
melted, plus additional butter, for greasing pan
1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 egg, plus 2 eggs
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 to 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and 1 stick melted butter, and stir until well blended. Pat
mixture into prepared pan and set aside.

In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, and the
cocoa powder. Lower the speed of the mixer, and add the powdered sugar. Continue beating until ingredients are
well mixed. Slowly add the remaining 1 stick of melted butter, and the vanilla, continuing to beat the mixture
until smooth. Stir in nuts with a rubber spatula. Spread filling over cake mixture in pan. Bake for 40 to 50
minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cake; the center should still be a little gooey when finished baking.
Let cake partially cool on a wire rack before cutting into pieces.




Today I am thankful for Paula Deen -&- her amazing recipes!?!
