Ingredients
Cake:
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 (18.2- ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Filling:
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (1 pound) box confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1 cup toffee bits
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
In the bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, confectioners' sugar and butter. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Fold in the toffee bits with a spatula.
Pour the filling over the cake mixture and spread it evenly. Bake until the center is just a little bit gooey, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into pieces and serve.

My family has been making Gooey Butter Cakes since the early 1970s and the original recipe was developed in the 1930s or 1940s in St. Louis. Making this again brought back wonderful memories of eating this decadent and rich cake as a child. Thanks for the recipe I remember.

these bars are SOO good and easy to make. So many people had a hard time cutting them cleanly. The secret is to lightly spray your pan with Pam and then cut a piece of parchment paper to just fit in the pan with two sides hanging over so you can use that to lift out the bars than lightly spray the parchment as well so it doesnt stick to the bars. Just let them cool completely before lifting them out than cut them with a knife that you clean off with a paper towel after each pass. They come out beautifully. this tip works great on brownies as well.
