Very good. Loved it!!!

Ben Bishop, goalie for the Tampa Bay Lightning, says this is good in a recent interview. Gonna have to try!

Instead of yellow cake mix try pound cake mix, and sprinkle chopped nuts over top before baking. When cake is cool sprinkle more confectioner's sugar on top.

Before adding cream cheese layer add 1 can apple pie filling and dust all over with cinnamon. If you want use 1 box pumpkin bread in lieu of other cake mix, try it!

Great recipe that my family has been making for 30 years Try using chocolate cake mix for great change.

When it spice time, usually at Thanksgiving, use spice cake mix instead of yellow! I add a nuts to the crust, and a little more cinnamon all around...Yummy!!

Love this ALWAYS the first desert to disappear no matter what the outing. Try it with a strawberry cake mix for something really new!

Always a hit whenever I prepare it for an event. My family greets the dessert before me. :-) The easy prep is a plus as well.

Put crushed pecans on top of cream cheese mixture or any type of nuts. ;)

I love this recipe. The first time I made it, it didn't turn out right, but then I found out I need to make sure the cake crust goes up the sides a little to hold in the mixture better. Also up here in the altitude I add just a tiny amount of flour in the custard mix and have to bake it for 15 min longer, tastes the same as it was made in lower elevations.

This is for Kathy from Kansas... I added the apples... It is fabulous... Except.... Did you bake it longer? I baked mine for 40 minutes and it is still too gooey!! (no pun intended) we have to eat it out of the pan, cannot even pick up the center pieces. The edges cooked up good. Adding the apples was an awesome idea... I will just bake it longer next time. Thanks for the tip though!! :o)

After I put the cake layer in the pan, I put a layer of chocolate chips, then add the cream cheese layer. YUM. My family loves it that way.

My Mother-In-Law and I have made a game out of altering this recipe! We have done Lemon Gooey Cake where you use a Lemon cake mix and then put lemon juice and lemon zest (from one lemon) in the cream cheese topping. We also make a coconut version with a coconut cake and coconut shavings in the cream cheese part. I'm about to try a butterscotch version with caramel cake mix and butterscotch morsels melted into the creamcheese part. Chocolate did NOT work for us, just FYI.

I add 1 tsp of vanilla to the first mixture also.

Again I tried something new with this recipe. It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and I like the gooey butter cake recipe so well with the apples I decided to try something else. I exchanged the yellow cake mix for Pumpkin Muffin or Bread mix. No apples this time but I thought it might be good with them. OMG my family love it. Now if I can keep them out of it till tomorrow....
