St. Louis girl across the ocean and new to Geneva!!

Hi! My name is Annie and I just moved here from the states. St. Louis, MO. to be exact. I'm here for a year working and would lvoe to see more of Geneva and the surrounding areas!! Being in a brand new city makes you realize all the things you want to see and do, and for me.. that's a lot! I love hiking, rock climbing, biking, running; anything active really!! If anybody is ever up for fun adventures, let me know!!

They are heaven. Quite possibly one of the most richest most fattening things you could eat.  This is the easy recipe if you bake =).. I prefer to make the crust from scratch rather than use the cake mix.  Every once in awhile I bake them for birthdays or special, so I will keep you in mind!


The Best St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake Recipe

Ingredients:



1 box yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix (Pillsbury works best) 
4 extra large eggs 
1 stick melted butter 
Pure vanilla extract 
1 8 oz. package cream cheese 
1 box powdered sugar (3 1/2 cups)

Equipment:



9 X 13 Pan 
Mixer 

Directions:

BUTTER CAKE MIXTURE:



Get 9 x13 pan and grease the bottom and all sides. 
Put yellow cake mix in mixing bowl. DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAKE BOX. Add 2 extra large eggs, 1 stick of melted butter in microwave about 35 seconds, and 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract. Mix together in mixer. Batter will have a very most feel to it. Take cake batter and spread evenly through 9 x 13 pan so it evenly covers the bottom of the pan. 
Clean off mixers and mixing bowl. 


GOOEY MIXTURE:



Melt cream cheese in microwave about 45-50 seconds. 
Put 3/4 of the powdered sugar in mixing bowl setting aside about 1/4 of the box for topping to sprinkle on after the cake is baked and cooled. In mixer add 3/4 powdered sugar, melted cream cheese, and 2 extra large eggs. Mix together in mixer. This will have a very GOOEY consistency as this is the gooey part of the cake. Take the Gooey mixture and layer on top of the cake batter mixture in pan. 


COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:



Here at sea level we bake it at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until the top of the cake is browned (Note: Kerry baked hers for 35 minutes and thought it was perhaps slightly over-baked). You want to make sure the gooey mixture on top of the cake is not too gooey otherwise it will be like a liquid. It is okay if the edges are brown and the top of the cake is lightly browned as well. 
Once cooked remove from oven and let cool about two hours before cutting and adding remaining powdered sugar. Add remaining powdered sugar to coat/cover top of cake, cut like brownies and serve.
