Peanut Butter Gooey Cake

This peanut butter filling is absolutely AMAZING. I swear if I ended up stranded on a desert island and had only one thing to eat the rest of my life it would be this filling.  Ok, so that isn't realistic I'd probably eat coconuts or something on a desert island but still a girl can dream right!  This filling is so rich and creamy that I honestly have trouble pouring it into the prepared pan to bake it because I could just spoon it into my mouth instead.  Which is why I rarely make this recipe because it is just too good to have one piece!  I've been making this recipe for a year or so now and have tried a few other gooey cake flavors but this is by far my favorite one.  It is a Paula Deen recipe and can't really remember if I got it from Food Network or one of my many Paula Deen cookbooks but it is a must try! 

Peanut Butter Gooey Cake

Crust:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temp.
1 c. creamy peanut butter
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer or whisk attachment of your mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.  To make the filling: In a large bowl or your mixer with the paddle attachment beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread peanut butter mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.   Allow to cool completely before cutting.  I like to put parchment paper or aluminum foil in the bottom of my pan so once it is cooled I can remove it completely to slice.

    I've never made a peanut butter gooey cake but I love the way it sounds. Plus, with the chocolate crust, I know it's a winner! Thanks for sharing on A Well-Seasoned Life's Sweet Indulgences Sunday!

    Oh my gosh, being Paula Deen I know it is good. I have made several of her recipes and this looks so delicious. I love recipes that are made from ingredients you usually have in the cupboard. Thanks for linking it up!

    Peanuts butter and gooey in one sentence? I'm already drooling! I know exactly what you mean by saying that one piece is not enough and I bet I'd eat the whole batch of the filling :D
