Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Mix the yellow cake mix, butter, and egg until the mixture is crumbly.
  2. Press the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you don't have yellow cake mix, a white cake mix can be substituted, but you may want to add a bit of food coloring for the same hue. Ensure your butter is softened for easier mixing. If you prefer a more indulgent treat, try adding chocolate chips or nuts to the mixture.

Serving Suggestions

This cake is delightful on its own but can be dressed up with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting dessert experience. It also complements a cup of coffee or tea perfectly, making it a great addition to brunch alongside dishes like Jalapeno Corn Bread(Fast And Simple).

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover Goody Butter Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, place individual pieces in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or enjoy it cold for a different texture.
