Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm whole milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and 75 grams of softened butter. Mix in the yeast mixture, egg, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5. Press the risen dough into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
6. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, remaining granulated sugar, and remaining softened butter until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
7. Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.
8. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough in the baking dish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
