I guess I was craving something sweet and boy did this fit the bill. It was easy, with only a few ingredients, but very dense and sweet. The recipe calls for cutting it into 1" squares and believe me, one bite in you will understand why.
Was browsing foodgawker.com and saw the recipe here first:
1 box of yellow cake mix (1 pound)
4 ounces of butter, melted
3 eggs
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 pound (16 ounces) of powdered sugar
1 tsp. of vanilla extract
Prepare
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the base first: mix together cake mix, butter and 1 egg.
3. Pat into pan, create an even layer.
4. Make the ooey gooey layer: Cream together the cream cheese, 2 eggs, sugar and vanilla.
5. Pour gooey layer over cake layer, spread to edges.
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown, center should be a creamy consistence like cheesecake or heaven.
7. Cool completely in pan before cutting into 1-inch squares with a clean, dry knife. For best square results, pop into freezer and chill before slicing.
Yes, you use the ENTIRE bag of sugar!
Melt that butter!
The cake and butter is the bottom layer. It was very playdoh like.
Spread evenly in the bottom of the pan. I used a round 9" cake pan because I didn't have a small square pan.
Next is the gooey cream cheese and sugar layer...
Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Behold the sugary goodness!
Honestly, a little too sweet for me! Still, I ate most of it though :)
