I'm guilty of buying the little slice of it at Walmart that's Paula Dean's version and it's like $3.00 for 2 servings. But OMG it's sooooooooo good. It's gooey but has a nice, thin, crisp layer on top and yummy crust on the bottom.

Kirk decided to get the recipe and make it for me. We bought all the stuff for it the other night, so maybe tonight will be the night he can make it!

Paula Dean has a recipe on her website, but he found this easy version:

1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1/2 c. butter
1 egg
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 lb. box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla


Mix together cake mix (just the mix, not the other ingredients called for on the box) with butter and 1 egg. Pat into an ungreased 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Cream together cream cheese, 2 eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla. Pour over cake mixture. Spreading to the edges. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.


ETA: I was wrong...he had the Paula Dean one bookmarked. Here's that version:

Ingredients:

Cake:
1 18 1/4-ounce package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 16-ounce box powdered sugar


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Prepare Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and beat together.
Next, add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.
