Look what I found!
I had never seen, tasted nor heard of Gooey Butter Cake and I'd like to know who to blame cuz this stuff makes you say...."Ooooooh my God!!"
I swear it does. I heard it from 5 different people!
One gal said it 3 times in a row with different vocal fluctuations ...Oh my god....OH my god! Oh my GOD! (I was wondering if I should leave the room right about then...{blush blush}...personal moment there?)
Anyways, there are recipes all over the net apparently.
And no one....not a single person? NONE of you ever thought to clue me in here? Come on peeps...I thought you were my FRIENDS!!
Ok, I'm over it now. It's all good. No worries.
Soooooo.....I happened to find....ALL by myself...no help from anyone....Paula Deens version of Gooey Butter Cake
and ya....OMG!!!
Now...just so's ya know...this stuff is super dooper sweet. So the serving shown above is like twice as much as you'll probably want. And....it's better cold. The sweet isn't as intense or something.
Cake:
1 box (18.25 oz) of yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 16oz box of powdered sugar
Preheat your oven to 350' F
Combine the cake mix, 1 egg and 8oz of melted butter and mix well with your electric mixer...
Lightly grease the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan.
Pat the mixture into the pan.....
For the filling, in a large bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 2 eggs, the vanilla and 8oz melted butter and beat together.
Add the powdered sugar and mix with a spoon (you don't want to use your mixer cuz you'll end up with sugar everywhere). Once the sugar is mostly incorporated, you can use your mixer for a minute to get it all nice and smooth and creamy....
Spread the mix over the cake batter mixture....
Bake for 40 - 50 minutes. Don't over bake. The center is suppose to remain a little gooey.
One more little tip....before refrigerating, I recommend cutting the "cake" into serving sizings. Once cold....its a bit of a challenge to do so cuz the cake mixture on the bottom sets pretty firm, while the filling remains nice and soft.

I have never tried this , but have heard of it. I will be now after your raves. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethis certainly doesn't qualify as salubrious, does it… :) indeed, this cake is absolutely, melt-in-your-mouth delicious and i honestly have to refrain from baking it too often. such decadence.
ReplyDeleteI'd have told you, but I'd never heard of it either! I'm down with pretty much anything with butter in the name. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't bake much but I know my wife will love making this.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to bake, but this sounds really easy and delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteDonna - Now i'm wondering about all the other versions / flavors that are out there (I've heard of several) Dangerous stuff
ReplyDeleteGrace - oh no, I save the salubriousness for sundays only hhahaha
Bob - ya, everythings better with butter...Paula says so, so it must be true ;)
Chris and Erica - these are so easy it isn't even considered baking!! I only dabble in the baking stuff, but I have such a sweet tooth that I've branched out more, lately. Not sure if thats a good thing or not LOL

LMAO Heather!! Sorry I guess I forgot to mention him. You wanna drink? Sirsportsalot sirsportsalot sirsportsalot sirsportsalot. There, is that better? Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteOMG! I'm getting a tooth ache, just looking at this. HOWEVER, anything with cream cheese rocks, in my book. Ya gotta love Paula Deen, but I can only indulge in her recipes if I have a lot of company-- or I'd expand in not time, y'all! This does look sinfully good!
ReplyDeleteFeast - Thank you for stopping by :). about that "expanding in no time" thing...well, I took half to work and the other half got fed to every child who stepped foot my house until it was gone! LOL

Spryte ya...double double animal style...ooh ya, that sounds really good! omg...I have to call hubby and tell him to pick some up on the way home. Forget Dominos!!
ReplyDeleteLiving in St. Louis most of my life, these cakes are everywhere. They are sold in grocery stores and bakeries. Now I am living in the South and make them for functions here. My friends love them and most have never heard of it. If they have heard of it, they think it was invented by Paula Dean. Not true, it was a mistake by a St. Louis baker!
ReplyDeleteso im am definitely lining up my ingredients to make this right now. and i had like 4 box cakes in the pantry: butter pecan, lemon, strawberry and butter i can imagine this recipe going so right with any of these because cream cheese goes with everything delishously im going to make the lemon and i'll let yu know how it turns out!
