Father Daughter Bake-Off by Katie

Last week we had a father-daughter bake off. We first made our dessert. Dad and I made Ooey Gooey Cake. We will tell you how to make it at the end. Kelsie and dad also made a cake. They put stuff on the cake to make it pretty. The big day came! That night we went to the place at church where we needed to register the cake.  I registered my cake in the gooiest category. Kelsie put hers in the prettiest category. We started the evening by singing some songs. Then my Dad talked for a while. While my Dad was talking, people were tasting the desserts.  When Dad finally finished, it was time to eat. We first looked at the cakes. Then we got to eat them. Then when everybody got their desserts, it was time to announce who won the contest. You know what?  Kelsie and I both won first place.  Kelise won the pretty category and I won the gooey category.   And that’s what happened at the father-daughter bake off.

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.

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.
