It's been hard to come up with a good blog post lately.  I don't have a cool new home improvement project or home decor idea to share.  I really don't cook or bake a lot right now, as it's hard to get used to someone else's kitchen.  All I can really do right now is tell you about how we're still living with my parents, and we're still searching for a house of our own.  Searching, but not finding.

So when I came across this recipe for Gooey Butter Cake on Pinterst, I decided to get back in the kitchen and bake.  St. Louis is famous for Gooey Butter Cake, and I've always loved sampling it when we're out so I was super excited to try it out for myself.

What You'll Need:

• 1 package of yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 8 tablespoons melted butter
• 8 oz package of softened cream cheese
• 16 oz powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

What You'll Do:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and butter and mix with an electric mixer until mixed well.
Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add 2 eggs and vanilla and beat together.  Add the powdered sugar and mix well.
Spread batter over cake batter in pan and bake for 40 minutes.
Don't over bake!  The center should be very gooey.
