Toffee Gooey Butter Cake

Kim and I were nagging each other about recipes we haven't given the other one.  On my list is a taco salad recipe that both of our moms made all the time when we were growing up...with Catalina dressing...you guys remember that?!?!  I think its a small town recipe...anyway, I want it soon!!  I made this gooey cake for Kim's baby shower for Baby Wyatt.  I tried making things I knew Kim would love and this ended up being a big hit!  We all loved it...I need to make it again soon!  Its slightly time consuming but oh-so-worth it!!

What you need:

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.

This recipe is in its exact form and comes from the lovely Paula Deen.
