Ingredients
– 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix for the base structure
– 1/2 cup melted butter for cake layer (adds richness and moisture)
– 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese for the gooey center
– 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs at room temperature for cake layer
– 1/2 cup melted salted butter for gooey layer
– 2 large eggs at room temperature for gooey layer
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan to prevent sticking.
2-Second Step: In a mixing bowl, cream together the cake mix, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
3-Third Step: Prepare the gooey layer by beating the cream cheese first, then adding the butter, eggs, vanilla, and powdered sugar gradually.
4-Fourth Step: Pour the gooey mixture over the cake layer in the baking dish.
5-Fifth Step: Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes until the edges are browned but the center still jiggles.

7-Final Step: Serve and enjoy, adapting for dietary preferences with substitutes as needed.
