OOOOEY GOOEY Neiman Marcus Cake

This is one of my favorite desserts. It is rich, gooey and easy to make.  It looks great, but doesn't last long. It is a holiday favorite; that is, any holiday is an excuse to make it. I know there are so many take off of this cake, but I've been making this one for about 40 years and we like it the best. This is not a super healthy snack, it is an occasional celebration treat.

Ingredients:

Cake
1 box of Butter Cake Mix
1 stick of butter-melted
1 extra large egg, anything smaller makes it hard to mix this cake

Topping
1 box of Powder Sugar
1 8oz. pkg of cream cheese at room temperature/softened, or you won't be able to mix the topping
1 extra large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F-bake for 35 minute or until golden brow on top.  Rack should be in the center of oven

Cake
Mix together cake ingredients and press into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish/pan.  This is a bit of work as the batter is very stiff.  Don't try an electric hand mixer as it will burn it up, this is the voice of experience speaking.  If you can't get it mixed, you can add up to a couple of table spoons of water one at a time.

Topping
Mix all ingredients; this one is easier to mix. Pour into the pan on top of the cake and spread it evenly across the cake.  Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

My family enjoys this so much that we make it all the time, not just at holidays.  It is really rich and caramelly.  The crust is a little chewy. What's not to love.

Hope you enjoy.
