Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

I made this cake last night as it only takes a few ingredients and little time....when done there is no need for frosting.....also I think this should actually be called a cookie bar as that is what it is more like....this cake is really good but very rich in flavor.....I will be tweaking this to make a chocolate version soon....and this smells heavenly when cooking....it will draw your family to the kitchen to find out what you are cooking....this recipe gets the thumbs up from us....

 Recipe:Cake Layer
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1 yellow cake mix
1 egg
1stick butter

Mix these three ingredients together in a bowl to form a dough....pat into a 9x13 pan (I used a round springform pan) and it worked fine......make sure it goes to the edges well...set aside

Top Layer:
1 16oz box confectioners sugar
1egg
1teaspoon vanilla
1 16oz box cream cheese

Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat with mixer until smooth....pour onto first layer making sure you seal the edges.....bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes if you use a springform pan and 40 minutes for the 13x9 pan...you want it to be slightly gooey when you take it out of the oven....let cool completely and remove the sides of the pan if you use a springform.....dust with confectioners sugar and serve.....I left off the dusting and am glad that I did as it would have really been a sugar overload....
