GOOEY BUTTER CAKE

In the last couple of weeks, two sweet ladies have made their way to their Home in Heaven. This is a sad time for the family left here on earth, but they are comforted in knowing where their moms and grandmas are spending eternity. They are now safe in the arms of Jesus. The older we get and the more people we know that are in Heaven makes me think of that old song, "Heaven's Sounding Sweeter All the Time". Hope it's sounding sweeter for you and that you KNOW where you will spend eternity. Life is too short not to know for sure.

I have made this cake for the family dinners following these funerals. It is easy to transport, you don't need to refrigerate it, and it is so rich that you can cut small pieces. I was asked for this recipe and thought I had already posted it. I can't find it, so here it is. (My brother-in-law likes to put peanut butter on it!)

Gooey Butter Cake

Mix:
1 box yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1 stick butter, melted

Press into a greased and floured 9x13 pan.

Mix:
1 - 8oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 box (1 lb) powdered sugar

Pour over first layer. Bake at 350* about 40 minutes or until sides are nice and golden brown. Cool. Cut into bars.

Recipe from: Faye Whitfield

Notes: The bottom layer is extremely sticky. I have used wax paper sprayed with Pam to spread it.
