http://recipes.pauladeen.com/index.php/recipes/view/gooey_butter_cake/I made this yesterday afternoon.
I sort of followed the recipe. I used Duncan Hines Yellow Butter Cake mix. If you have some raspberry or strawberry preserves or jam...put a couple of tablespoons in something you can microwave for 30 seconds....(be very careful...it will be very hot!) spread it carefully over the top of the bottom layer. I used raspberry. I also added 12 oz of white chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture. Baked it for 45 minutes. You can't test it because the center appears to not be done, but it sets up as it cools. I refrigerated it, and it was completely solid today...we had some last night when it was still kind of warm.
This cake is so easy....and wickedly good....
I think I'm going to do one for next weekend for a cookout....but I'm going to use chocolate cake mix, put some chopped pecans on top of the bottom layer, and add a large bag of mini semi sweet chocolate chips to it.
