One of my co-workers always brings food in for office birthdays. Because she is always awesome, the rest of the office decided to have a potluck in honor of her birthday. People brought some really tastey treats. I had been thinking about making my mom's gooey butter cake a couple of weeks prior, but I didn't feel like going to the grocery store for cream cheese, so this was the perfect excuse. I have to say, these bars were a hit! Everyone loved them and I only had a couple of leftover.
Ingredients:
1- pound cake mix
1 stick- melted butter
4- eggs
8oz.- cream cheese (softened)
3 1/4 cup- powdered sugar
3/4 cup- chopped pecans (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease 9 x 13 pan.
2. Mix pound cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs.
3. Press pound cake mixure into the bottom of the greased pan.
4. Beat cream cheese and eggs together until smooth.
5. Slowly add powdered sugar.
6. Spread over pound cake mixture.
7. Sprinkle top with powdered sugar and pecans (if wanted).
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
9. Cool completely before cutting.
