If you're looking for something to satisfy a sweet tooth...look no further! This was perfection and so easy to make too.

It'd been years since I had had gooey butter cake and I'm so glad I gave this a try! It's just like the one grandpa used to make. Thanks a ton for the awesome recipe! Will definitely make it again.

The texture of this cake is phenomenal and I loved how simple it was to make!

These chess bars (or chess squares) are an easy and sweet dessert using cream cheese and yellow cake mix.

Chess Bars

yellow cake mix

butter

egg (for base)

eggs (for topping)

oz cream cheese

oz sugar

vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Take the cake mix, 1 egg, and softened stick of butter and mix together.

Pat down into a 9x13 pan.

Mix together remaining eggs, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla and pour over cake.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to 325 and bake for 45-50 minutes.

This cake will sink in the middle after it cools.

Let cool completely before cutting. Cut into squares and place any remaining bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container (between layers of wax or parchment paper).

I don’t usually make comments but I have been making these bars for years now! A good variation is to use chocolate cake mix for the crust!! The bottom comes out almost like brownies and then the gooey top is so delicious together!! Try it , it’s so very good.
