Gooey Butter Cakes are big around St. Louis and this one combines my 2 favorite flavors! Easy to make, and even though it’s not the prettiest cake I’ve ever seen, it is definitely the richest! This was a big hit in my house!
To make the crust:
Combine the cake mix, egg, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom (and slightly up the sides) of a 9×13 cake pan.
To make the filling:
In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), combine the cream cheese and peanut butter until well mixed. Add the eggs and mix until combined. Next add the melted butter and vanilla, and mix until combined. Last, add the box of powdered sugar and mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
You want the center to be a little gooey, so don’t overbake it.
Let cool to room temperature and serve!

I’ve made this several times now! I gave it as a gift to a co-worker because it’s just that good! Have only had great compliments! Thanks.
Made this last night-had a dark chocolate cake mix about to expire. Very good!
