Hmm baby

Bruce proved once again that he can cook... and this time he made me the most incredible Warm Blueberry Gooey Butter Cake. 🫐🤍 It starts with a buttery cake base, topped with a rich, gooey cream cheese layer bursting with fresh blueberries, then finished with warm homemade blueberry sauce. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and every bite tastes like pure comfort. This is the kind of dessert you'll want to make for summer gatherings, family dinners, holidays, or anytime you need something guaranteed to impress. ✨ INGREDIENTS: 1 box yellow cake mix 1 large egg ½ cup unsalted butter, melted Gooey Layer 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 4 cups powdered sugar 1 cup fresh blueberries Zest of 1 lemon (optional, but highly recommended) Homemade Blueberry Sauce 4 cups fresh blueberries ½ cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ¼ cup water 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons water (for slurry) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of salt For Finishing Powdered sugar Vanilla ice cream (optional) DIRECTIONS: -Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. -Mix the cake mix, egg, and melted butter until a soft dough forms.
