Description
A delightful Pistachio Cream Gooey Butter Cake with a rich, buttery flavor and creamy texture, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pistachio paste
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and one egg. Mix until crumbly; this will be your crust. Press it evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, pistachio paste, the remaining eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set yet slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream before serving.
Notes
Let all ingredients come to room temperature for better mixing. Do not overbake to maintain the gooey texture.
