Surprise Butter Cake, because SURPRISE I love butter and cake! It’s ooey-gooey good, made with cream cheese, yellow cake mix, and butter – what’s not to love!
It was love at first sight when I saw this recipe in the Gooseberry Patch cookbook Mom’s Very Best Recipes. It literally spoke straight to my soul – my soul has a sweet tooth!
You guys I am distracted so easily! Like I have started to work on this post 5 times, I type a sentence and get distracted!
Like just before this sentence it was Facebook, which prompted me to change my signboard, then take a picture, then post to Facebook!
I literally mutter this to myself every day while scrolling Facebook-my shit is never in a pile, I’m a walking hot mess so it was either this positive saying or “Suck It Up Buttercup”!
So here’s to those that don’t have their lives together for strangers on the internet!
Which then prompted to me to use my full name JENNIFER LEIGH -focus, people need this cake in their life, finish this recipe post.
And remember that I am “blessed” even when my life is a hot mess!
Surprise Butter Cake
Everybody deserves this cake, I can’t even believe how easy it is and how addictive it is to eat!
