A Brand New Start!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything.  The cupcake thing kind of ran it's course, and life just gets crazy sometimes, ya know?  I really want to continue blogging so I decided to switch gears a little and use this as a way to share my life with everyone and all the little things and people who make it sweet.  My husband, family, friends and dogs are a big part of that, so expect to see more of them.  To start off the very first post, here is a sweet little reward!  Another yummy recipe from my "office mom" Susan Long.  She made this for us earlier this week and it was just slap yo momma good!  It's called "Ooey Gooey Butter Cake".  Hope you enjoy!  Thank you (again) Susan!


Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

1 box of yellow cake mix
1 stick of melted butter or margarine
1 egg

Mix together and pat into a greased 13x9 pan.

Sprinkle with chopped nuts (if desired)

8 oz. Cream cheese – softened
1 box (3 ¾ cups) 10x sugar (I sift mine)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together and pour on top of cake.

Sprinkle with coconut (if desired).

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes – until golden brown and set.

**Variation**
To make this a brownie recipe (Neiman Marcus Brownies):

Use a box of devil’s food cake mix instead of a yellow one.

Sprinkle with coconut.
