Gooey Butter Cake Bars

Gooey Butter Cake Bars

These Gooey Butter Cake Bars are heavenly. I only make them for a crowd, otherwise I’ll eat half the pan myself. Everyone loves this. The bars are soft, slightly gooey and have a perfect cake batter and sweet cream cheese flavor. If you’re looking to wow a crowd, bring this to your next party.

Did you know that the average age of a farmer in Arkansas is 57?

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg until a soft dough forms. Press into the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. In a stand mixer, combine together the cream cheese, two eggs, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the cake mix layer.
