A few more recipes for good measure

Quick Gooey Butter Coffee Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter melted
1 package cream cheese ( 8 oz. )
1 Tbs. vanilla essence
1 box powdered sugar ( 16 oz. )

Blend cake mix with 2 eggs and melted butter. Pour into a 12x8x2 inch dish.
In another bowl combine cream cheese and 2 eggs vanilla and powdered sugar (reserve 2 Tbs.) Spread cream cheese mixture carefully over batter in pan. Bake 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the 2 Tbs. powdered sugar. Return to oven and bake 25 minutes longer. Do not over-bake! If over-baked, topping will not be gooey. Serve cake warm.

And I don't have a pic of this one, but I LOVE it, and it's sooo good.
