Equipment

  • 9-inch square baking pan

Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base

  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Fine Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 1/4 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Gooey Layer

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Fine Salt
  • 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar, For Topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Stir the melted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients until a soft, thick dough forms. Press the dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Beat the cream cheese until completely smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, melted butter, sour cream, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until the filling is creamy and lump-free.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake base, taking care not to mix the two layers together.
  • Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, until the edges are golden and set but the center still has a gentle wobble. Do not bake until the center is completely firm or the signature gooey texture will be lost.
  • Cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours. Dust with the remaining powdered sugar before serving.
