Gooey Praline Butter Cake Recipe

This rich butter cake starts out with an ordinary box of yellow cake mix. That is where ordinary ends. This cake is so moist and rich, a little will go a long way. For added praline flavor, crumble some of your favorite flavored pralines on top.

Cake:

• 1 (18.25-oz) box yellow cake mix
• 1 egg
• 1 stick butter; melted

Filling:

• 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese; softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
• 1 stick butter; melted
• 1 bag (4 oz) Pecanfections; chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and butter with an electric mixer. Pour into a greased 13" x 9" x-2" baking pan and set aside.

In another mixing bowl, add cream cheese and beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Continue beating while adding the 2 eggs and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and beat well. Reduce the speed and slowly pour in butter and add the chopped Pecanfections.

Pour the filling over cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool before serving.
