Chewy Butter Cake

(18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

margarine, softened

eggs

vanilla extract

cream cheese

confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.


In a large bowl, combine cake mix, margarine, 1 egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Press into a 9x13 inch pan.


Using the same bowl, combine cream cheese, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla and 4 cups confectioners' sugar. Mix together until smooth. Pour over cake mixture.


Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cake will rise up around sides of pan and look fallen when done.  Allow to cool.


Way too SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!  But the next time I changed the proportion of ingredients and it was really good.  Here is my revised recipe:
1 package yellow cake mix.  I use 
Duncan Hines Butter recipe.  1/2 cup butter,melted. 4 eggs. 8 oz cream cheese, softened.  3/4 cup powdered sugar.  And this is not a mistake; only 3/4 cup. 1 tsp each vanilla and lemon flavoring. In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, melted margarine, and 2 beaten eggs. Pour into a greased and floured 13"x9" cake pan.   Please note that the cake mix mixture will have the consistency of a dough more so than a cake, so it will be kind of thick. You can use a spatula to spread it.   In a  blender or food processor, combine softened cream cheese,  powdered sugar,  2 beaten eggs; vanilla/lemon .... flavorings (to taste).   Pour over the cake mixture.  Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden. 
You can use a 13X9 pyrex  or 2 squared foil pans (about 8x8) .  You can also cut into small squares and serve.



Did I do something wrong? The cake was tasty,but
the top had a crisp crust, and the center was
too gooey. It had the consistency of uncooked cake batter. Yuck! I made it exactly as instructed, and baked it for the appropriate time.
I had to throw it away!

This was pretty good although it was more like a brownie than cake. Be sure to let this cool COMPLETELY before cutting or it appears to be gooey. Otherwise, it's great!!! Enjoy!

OH THIS ONE IS IT, THE TASTE IS OUTSTANDING, VERY RICH BUT VERY GOOD, TYR IT YOU WILL LOVE IT  GLENDA~TEXAS

I made this for my husband at work. He said everyone loved it.  I substituted chocolate cake for yellow and added milk chocolate chips.

A big hit at a recent family gathering.  Delicious, and easy to make.

This recipe is so easy to make and an excellent desert to bring to a potluck or social gathering.  Very yummy, forget about dieting!

We werent crazy about it ... maybe I did something wrong.  It was ok, just not great.  I think I would enjoy it more with a chocolate mix.. or maybe lemon??

My husband LOVED this!  It's very good.  It's fun to try different flavor combinations with this one!

This is an amazingly versatile recipe, and a big hit whenever I bring it into work.  Experiment using different flavors of cake mix such as chocolate sprinkled with mini M&amp;M's (DECADENT!) lemon, or even strawberry as I tried today. You'll love it!

Absolutely fabulous !!  I have tried to make recipes similar to this and always messed them up somehow, but this turned out perfect !!  Thanks so much for the recipe : )

The kids loved this bar...not to mention they were bouncing off the walls on a sugar high for the rest of the day.  I am curious, is the cream cheese layer suppose to be runny or set up more like a cheesecake consistency?  Mine was runny and I'm wondering if I needed to bake it longer.  The taste sure makes it worth trying again.

I would cut back the amount of sugar in the cream cheese mix next time. Otherwise, everyone loved the combination.

No changes. It is really moist and chewy! Very good!

I have been using this recipe for a long time. I can't remember where I first got it, but here it is. It is so good and everyone always loves it and asks for the recipe. It is VERY sweet so I only make it for company or if taking somewhere. Also, I cut into small squares, instead of bars since it is so sweet. FYI, this will not have the consistency of normal cake. It will be gooey inside and crusted top.
