Gooey Butter Cake Bars

Gooey Butter Cake Bars – made with cream cheese, yellow cake mix, powdered sugar, and lots of butter, this is seriously the best dessert recipe ever!

Hello there! Growing up in the Midwest we always had dessert after dinner. One of the staples was Gooey Butter Cake Bars. This is more of a dessert bar recipe instead of a cake. It’s made with yellow cake mix and lots of butter, that’s how it got it’s name. This is one of my favorite desserts and I crave it all the time. If you have never tried gooey butter cake or even heard of it, I highly recommended making it. These indulgent little bars are very easy to make and man do they taste good. They would be great for summer parties!

These Gooey Butter Cake Bars are baked in a 9 x 13 baking dish and cut into square bars. There are two components to this dessert. The first is the crust, made with yellow box cake mix, butter, and an egg. Mix all of the crust ingredients together and press into the bottom of your baking dish. Next is the filling made with cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, more butter, and powdered sugar. Pour the filling mixture onto of the crust and bake in a preheated 350 F degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes. Finally, after the cake has cooled slightly, dust with even more powdered sugar and cut into bars. This is a very simple and easy recipe that just about anyone can make. No special tools are required, just amazing ingredients.

These Gooey Butter Cake Bars are so rich and creamy. The flavors are mouthwatering and this is one awesome dessert recipe!
