👩🏻🍳 How To Make Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
To make it, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the cake mix, 1 egg, and the butter into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle attachment and beat for 1 minute at medium speed until it becomes a soft dough. Spread the cake mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Combine the remaining eggs, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in the mixer bowl and beat until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
⏲️ Baking Time
Bake on the center rack for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting.
