I have a recipe for this cake we call it "gooey butter cake." Simple, quick, affordable. Oh, and addictive!!

This is a wonderful cake! To make it a prettier cake you can put pecan halves on top. I sometimes cut this in small squares and place a pecan half on each piece and place on a platter. It makes a much more attractive dessert this way. You really can't beat the taste!

This was good. Kind of plain. Guests loved it, even heard it described as heavenly. Seemed a lot like a Neiman Marcus cake but not as good.

Very yummy! I had to make this due to the fact that everyone kept saying it is "ugly". Mine did not turn out ugly?!?! It was great though! I over cooked a bit (my fault) so I will make again soon and try not to overcook. Super easy and yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

This is such a good recipe. I was wanting to submit this recipe to the site, but after doing a quick search, found it was already here. There are so many variations you can make too. You can use lemon flavored cake mix to make it what my mom calls "lemon squares" or you can follow the recipe posted here and add approx. 2 cups of chocolate chips to the top layer for a chocolately twist. Either way is great! One warning though, this isn't a "normal" cake. If you insert a toothpick to ensure it's thoroughly cooked, it won't come out clean. Look for the top to brown as this is a very gooey.

When the description says it is rich, it isn't kidding. I wasn't expecting it to rise as muchas it did, so it made a mess of the pan. Looks aside, it made for a wonderful dessert for a potluck.

I used a lemon cake mix, hoping it would taste like a lemon bar, but it was too cakey. Good flavor, though.

My entire family loved this cake. It doesn't look fancy or anything, but the cake just seems to melt in your mouth! Make sure you don't over cook this one.

I've been making these for years, and they are ALWAYS a hit with everyone who tries them. My boyfriend, who isn't the biggest sweet eater requested them this past x-mas, so easy, and so yummy. I don't top them with confectioner's sugar, they are sweet enough as is!

This recipe is a disaster. I used only the ingredients recommended and followed the directions exactly. I've even triple-chekced to make sure everything was done perfectly. The cake had a crispy topping that separated from the bottom layer. The bottom layer almost seems too gooey. You've heard of "heart attack on a plate"...well, this is "heart attack in a cake." I should never have chosen a recipe with this much fat and sugar.

I modify this using a box of fudge brownie mix, and it's great like that. Also, I do this so people can add a scoop of icecream to it if they choose.

This tasted like cake mix and butter, both of which are yummy, don't get me wrong, but if I am going to take in this kind of fat and calories it better be fantastic. Next time I'll just have real chess pie.

Recipe was very good but the crust was not done. And in 1 hr the top seemed like it was burnt. maybe because I use margerine instead of butter.

SO YUMMY!!! Chewy, delightful, suprising little thing. Had friends over, they kinda made a face at what it looked like (doesn't look very appealing) BUT once they took a bite, they were hooked. The 3 of them ate the entire pan.

This cake was good, but very very sweet! If you do not like supersweet, I would pass on this. But the flavor was lovely and it made a toffee-like crust that was like candy. Went over well at work.

This cake blew my mind, bu yes it is very very sugary and rich. I cooked it ten minutes less than specified to make it slightly gooey. next time I'll use less sugar.

Rich... sinful...Delicious! They did pull away from the pan, but nothing to worry about. Just watch them and pull them from the oven when the top is nice & brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. I keep mine in the refrigerator... makes a great snack anytime of the day! ;)

This cake is wonderful. My family can't get enough. Just to shake things up a bit, try it with coconut cake mix and mixing some coconut into the cream cheese mixture. Tastes like the best macaroon ever.
