Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Bars

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Bars ~ Sweet vanilla cake is topped with a gooey cream cheese layer that’s butterlicious…. It takes vanilla cake mix, turns it into a soft, splendidly sweet base, then tops it with a truly delicious cream-cheese vanilla layer that bakes until the top is ever-so-slightly crunchy and everything underneath is like custardy and brilliant. The name doesn’t lie! Our nod to the famous St. Louis dessert starts with a vanilla butter cake base topped with a gooey cream cheese layer that’s too good to resist. Waiting for these to cool completely before cutting them into pieces is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do—they smell amazing right out of the oven—but take one bite and you’ll know they’re worth the wait. (Tip: for just the right amount of “gooey,” make sure to use a 9×9-inch pan and not an 8×8.)
