Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

We had such a nice evening with friends tonight.  We had time of fellowship around a meal and then spent time together in prayer.
I brought dessert and the recipe was requested...here it is.  Super easy, but very yummy.

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (a Paula Deen recipe)

Cake
1 regular package of yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 T butter (1 stick) melted

Filling:
1-8 ox pkg cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
8 T butter, melted
1 16-oz box, powdered sugar.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*
Combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and butter; mix well with and electric mixer.
Put the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9 in baking dish.
It's really crumbly, so pat it into the dish with your hands.

Prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add the eggs, vanilla and butter; beat together.
Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well.  Spread over the cake batter and bake for 40-50 minutes.  Make sure NOT to over bake as center should be a little gooey.
Garnish top, if desired with powdered sugar.
