How to add content editor web part to webpart gallery| Export content editor web part (OOTB in SharePoint)

By default content editor web part is not exporting as *.webpart file as other out-of-the-box(OOTB) web parts, it is exported as *.dwp. Basically dwp file is an element XML file which contains configurations as below;

[code language="xml"]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebPart xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">
<Title>Content Editor</Title>
<FrameType>Default</FrameType>
...
</WebPart>
[/code]

But if you exported other web part you can be able to to extract it by converting it to *.cab file. It's not required here and you can open it by text editor simply.
