Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
0.5 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Gather all ingredients for the gooey butter cake.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add confectioner's sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let the gooey butter cake cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy this delightful treat!
