Have made this cake several times in various flavors (strawberry is particularly good - add chopped strawberries to the filling). The Q used to sell it (it was a Paula Deen cake as I recall) but theirs was made in a 10"" springform pan which I've also done. Very good cake.

Yes, Paula Deen has printed many recipes for her Ooey Gooey butter cakes.

That sounds good. I seldom use boxed mixes, but I did have a recipe (going back about 40 years ${#emotions_dlg.scared}$ ) that called for one with the addition of other ingredients. It was delicious, then came the downsizing ${#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}$ . Needless to say, the recipe was ruined and the cake (it was prepared as a sheet cake, and I'd get the Duncan Hines mix) didn't come anywhere near the top of the pan.

Anyway, I ended up making a yellow cake from scratch then adding everything, but I loved the ease of the boxed mix for that recipe.

How much pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.

I made this with a chocolate cake mix-added 2 table spoons cocoa to the cream cheese mix.

Thanks for sharing the recipe Glori! Always good to put that ""warning"" in your heading...makes life easier when you are just trying to post a recipe.

I like the chocolate idea!

Sounds good. I'm not averse to mixes anymore. The yellow cake is pretty good and it stunned me one day--we ordered a cake from a client who is a cake decorator and it was really tasty! (Beautifully decorated, too.) Duncan Hines....ok. I'm in.
