We loved this cake! I did reduce the amount of sugar and would likely only make this again if I had a large group to feed as it was too much for the two of us. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
Ryan Hudson
very delicious recipe! I used a bundt and only used 2 cups confectionate sugar (as other reviewers advised) – perfect. turns out with a hint of tartness, next time I will add blueberries in between layers.

I tried this Recipe exactly how it was no alterations other than drizzling a small amount of the cream on top with the sugar! It was wonderful thanks for a new favorite in my home;-)
Teresa Garcia
Wow, this is amazing! I tweeked the recipe quite a bit too. I used a 15.5 oz. cake mix because I don’t have one that was 18 oz. I also used two cups of confectioner’s sugar instead of 3 3/4 cups, and I substituted coconut oil for the butter. It’s a lot healthier version!It is so delicious! Thanks for sharing!

This is an old fashioned sugar cream cake. Very tasty!
Linda Johnson
This was pretty good overall. It was soo easy and came out of the oven slightly gooey, just as I had hoped. My kids enjoyed it, and I guess I did too. But although the flavor was tasty, it was kind of plain. Maybe next time I’ll add a scoop of chocolate ice cream to jazz it up.
Amanda Long
It is good but doesn’t look as tastey as other cakes.
Emily Brown
Everyone loved it!
Sergio Hardy
Very easy & great taste!

This is just a great recipe, regardless of the sweetness it is excellent. Everything in moderation right? It is also nice with a few pecans chopped in. Loved this recipe for many years but all my life we call it chess cake???
Jessica Navarro
too sweet
Marcus Moore
very sweet but good
Blake Mays
This was excellent. I tried it according to the original recipe and with one change ( I added a carmel sauce between layers) and I thought that both were excellent. Everyone loved this one!!

I made this dessert three times in two days, so that should say just how much of a hit it was. The first day, I cooked it as directed and it came out much “gooier”. The second day, I let it cook longer than the listed time, and it firmed a bit more. I think I liked it better firmer. I did make two changes to the recipe. I added a pinch of lemon extract(very very minute amount) and I also mixed in chopped pecans into the cake batter mixture. This is by far my favorite “cake” dessert ever!! It is going into my recipe binder for sure!
Megan Collins
Really good cake. I will make this again.

Made this twice. First I followed recipe exactly and second time made changes. 4 Stars as written, but 5 stars with these changes: Reduce sugar to 2 cups and add 2 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice to cream cheese mixture for a “cheesecake like taste”

Not like a cake and not ooey goey. It turned out like a thin bar cookie with a sugar cookie like taste. Not sure how it could be served for breakfast as some have said? It would be the equivalent of eating a very sugary cookie. And, I followed the recipe exactly. Expected something very different. The cream cheese, which was why I made it, was invisible visually and in taste. I saw some in the store and they looked just like mine, so I must have done it right. There is cake mix in the recipe and cream cheese, but this recipe makes nothing more than a plain crispy very sugary cookie bar. If that is what you are looking for, then you might like this.

Every Thanksgiving one of my family members brings this desert to dinner and I just love it… I was overjoyed to find this recipe. I have made it a least 4 times in the last 2 months.. as a matter of fact I am making a double batch to take to work on Monday.!!!
Shelia Williams
I make these all the time.The only thing I do different is to add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the filling. They are always a hit. I first got the recipe from a Paula Deen magazine. She calls it Gooey Butter Cake.
Connor Taylor
Better the next day.
Michelle Griffin
The first time I made this was off a package of cream cheese. It’s very good, but it’s rich. If you are not into sweet and rich, this is not for you. I don’t always use as the full amount of powdered sugar.
