Paula Dean's Hummingbird Cake. You will have to go to www.foodtv.com for the recipe. Sorry! It's really good though. I made it for my mom's birthday and my husband had me make it again for his.
It has cake mix in it, but you just can't go wrong with Paula Deen. These are SO GOOD.





Paula Deen's Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake





Butter, for greasing pan, plus 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) butter, melted


1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix


1 egg, plus 2 eggs


1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened


3 to 4 tablespoons cocoa powder


1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 cup chopped nuts





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and 8 tablespoons (1 stick) melted butter, and stir until well blended. Pat mixture into prepared pan and set aside. In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, and the cocoa powder. Lower the speed of the mixer, and add the powdered sugar. Continue beating until ingredients are well mixed. Slowly add the remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of melted butter, and the vanilla, continuing to beat the mixture until smooth. Stir in nuts with a rubber spatula. Spread filling over cake mixture in pan.





Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cake; the center should still be a little gooey when finished baking. Let cake partially cool on a wire rack before cutting into pieces.
