German Chocolate Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix cake mix, butter, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Pat into the prepared pan.
• Mix cream cheese, cocoa powder, and remaining eggs together in another bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in powdered sugar slowly. Pour over cake layer in the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 13x9 baking pan. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1/2 cup melted butter, and egg. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until combined. Press evenly into bottom of prepared pan; set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add remaining melted butter, beating at low speed until combined. Stir in coconut and pecans. Pour over cake mix layer, spreading evenly. Bake for 45 mins (the center should remain slightly gooey). Remove from oven; let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, shortening, and salt in a bowl.
• Add egg, and beat together for 1 minute.
• Dissolve yeast in warm milk.
• To egg/sugar mixture, add flour, then yeast mixture and vanilla, beating about 3 minutes (with dough hook or by hand).
• Turn dough onto lightly floured board and knead 1 minute.
• Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel and let stand in a warm place to rise 1 hour or until double.
• Make Topping: Cream butter in a mixer.
• Mix together flour and sugar; gradually beat into butter.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add vanilla.
• Gradually add just enough milk to bring mixture to an easy spreading consistency, being careful not to make it too runny. Set aside until dough is doubled and ready for use.
• When dough is doubled, punch it down and divide in two sections.
• Roll or pat halves into bottom of two well-greased 8" square pans (or a 13x9 pan).
• Crimp edges halfway up sides to hold topping. Prick dough with a fork to reduce bubbling.
• Spread topping evenly over dough. Let stand 20 minutes. Heat oven to 375°F.
• Bake 30 minutes for 13x9 or 20 minutes for 8x8 or until top is just golden and crusty, but still gooey.
• DO NOT OVERBAKE!
