Oh my gosh! To die for. Everyone loved this cake and it went really fast! This is a definite "comfort food" and I'll be making two for dinner on Sunday.

This recipe was delicious. My husband wants me to make another one this weekend. I listened to the advice of several reviewers and cut back on the sugar (only used 2 1/2 cups) it was still very sweet but excellent non-the less.

All I can say about this is it is utterly sickeningly sweet. We love desserts but this is way too sugary. My daughter had heard about this from friends and wanted to make something delicious for our family but thought it way too sweet and rich even for her.

This is easy and delicious. I made this for my boyfriend's birthday party and it was gone within the first hour and a half.

I have made this recipe for several years. It has been called a Chess Cake or a Neiman Marcus Cake. I just call it a family favorite. Although I use 2 cups of powdered sugar instead of 4. This is a never fail recipe. Give it a try!

I was in a hurry and grabbed this recipe because it was the first on the search list. I wish I had taken my time and looked harder. This was horrible. There's a key ingredient missing in the listing. The cream cheese filling layer is also supposed to have a 1/2 cup of melted butter mixed into it. When I finally found the paula deen recipe I was looking for, I compared them side by side and saw that this was the problem. However, if you CAN get a gooey butter cake recipe right, sprinkle the top with chocolate chips prior to baking and it REALLY adds something to it!

This cake is rich and delicious. I used this recipe as a Sunday Dinner dessert, it was a big hit. I decided to make it for Christmas, this time used a can of crushed pineapples that I had blended and added it to the cake mixture. After baking/cooling. I used a cream cheese frosting to top it off. (Because of the added ingredients, I used 21/2 c instead of 4c of pwdrd sugar.) It was even more scrumptious. mmmmmmm good! My sis-in-law called me the next day wanting the recipe.

This recipe is great for the perfect Chess Cake/Gooey Cake; however, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT GOOEY CAKE is before making this recipe in that not everyone is going to like Gooey Cake. It's basically not so much gooey as it is like eating pure sugar - your kids will be jumping off the walls - best served for grown-ups with a strong cup of black coffee!

My mom made this all the time when I was growing up. We called it Chess Cake. I just made this last night for the holidays. I added a 15oz can of pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice to the filling. Requires a little longer baking time with the pumpkin mixed in! So yummy!

We call it ooey gooey butter cake and we love it. I have found that the cake bottom can be too dry. What I do is after the cream cheese mixture is poured into the pan I take my butter knife and make small holes in the crust so that the topping can sink into it. This makes a huge difference. I do not think you will be disappointed if you do this.

I made this at a request from a coworker and took it in to work. I found it too sweet for my taste, but other's seemed to enjoy it. If you have a serious sweet tooth, it's delicious. It was a bit much for me!
