Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

This cake is also known as a Neiman Marcus Cake. Either way - it's fabulous!

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter
8 ounces cream cheese
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine the yellow cake mix, 2 of the eggs, and the butter or margarine in your stoneware 9 x 13; mix well. The batter should be stiff. Spread the batter evenly. (Use a piece of waxed paper since batter is sticky!)
Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and the remaining 2 eggs. Mix well and pour over the top of the cake batter. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes. Enjoy!

**This is a recipe that you can change and make it your own - 1) Use lemon cake mix 2) Use a teaspoon of vanilla or almond flavoring to the cream cheese mixture 3) Add a layer of coconut before you add the cream cheese mixture 4) Add chopped pecans to the base mixture 5) Sprinkle a few toffee bits to the top before you bake it - The possibilities are endless!
