Okie, let me dig it out... The crust is basically a yellow cake mix and butter... It just gets better from there...


UPDATE:

St Louis specialty, Gooey Butter Cake...

PREHEAT oven to 350

Crust ingredients:

1 yellow cake mix
1 stick butter OR imperial (room temperature)
1 T. water
1 egg
(optional 1 teaspoon vanilla)
Mix above with mixer and pat into 9x13 BUTTERED cake pan bringing the crust up the sides about 1/2 (forms a basin for the filling)

Filling ingredients:

1 box (8oz) cream cheese (room temperature)
1 box powder sugar (3 3/4 cups) (hold some back to cover the top after baking)
2 eggs
(optional 1 teaspoon vanilla)
Mix above ingredients in mixer until smooth and pour into crust evenly, it will level as it cooks...

Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes until the top starts to brown, the center/filling will remain runny but will firm when it cools... Optional, add ground pecans on top with some powder sugar... Serve cool...

^^^ VERY VERY healthy and low carb/cal dessert...

My wife hates to cook and I like to eat good food SO Im forced to do the cooking...

This recipie came from Mrs. Hullings Cafeteria/St Louis in the late 40's or early 50's when my mother worked there as a teen... (if my memory serves me right)
