Gooey Butter Cake

Ingredients

1 Yellow cake mix

1 teaspoon Vanilla

2 Eggs

1/2 cup Butter or margarine

8 ounces Creme cheese, softened

1 pound Powdered sugar

2 Eggs

Preparation

Mix cake ingredients, and place in a greased 9x13 pan. Mixture should be thick like cookie dough.

Mix topping ingredients and pour over the cake mixture. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Cake will drop as it cools, this is normal. Top by sprinkling with powdered sugar. For a delicious variation, use a lemon cake mix instead of the yellow one. This cake is VERY rich.

Variation - My own innovation is to put a layer of raspberry preserves between the crust and the topping.
