CARAMEL, CHOCOLATE & ALMOND GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



Caramel, Chocolate & Almond Gooey Butter Cake image

Wow, what a cake! We fell in love with this recipe at first bite. The Crew and I prepared this cake once using caramel cake mix and once using a butter cake mix. Happily, it turned out wonderfully both ways. A funny thing happened while we were preparing to take this cake's picture... we got the plate all fixed for the photo,...

Provided by Melissa Sperka

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box caramel cake mix
1 can(s) dulce de leche [13.4 oz.]
16 oz powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 stick melted butter, divided
4 large eggs
1/3 c slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 c toffee bits
1/3 c mini chocolate chips, plus 1/2 cup
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Toast the almonds at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl mix together the cake mix, one stick of melted butter and one egg until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. On top of the crust sprinkle the mini chocolate chips, toffee bits and toasted almonds.
  • 3. In the same mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and the Dulce de Leche until combined.
  • 4. Beat in the remaining 3 eggs, vanilla, powdered sugar and melted butter. Whip on medium high speed so that all of the ingredients come together nicely. Pour the filling over the crust and place into the oven.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When you remove it from the oven, the cake will still appear a little "jiggly." This means you did a great job not over baking the cake!
  • 6. GLAZE: Melt 1/2 cup of additional chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in the microwave. Stir until completely smooth then drizzle over the cake before serving.
  • 7. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature then drizzle with chocolate glaze and sprinkle with toffee bits. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

CRUST:
1 pkg. plain yellow cake mix
1 stick butter, melted
1 large egg
FILLING:
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 stick butter, melted
3-3/4 c confectioners sugar, sifted
1 pkg (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 and set aside a 13 x 9 pan, ungreased.
  • 2. For the crust, place the cake mix, melted butter and egg in a mixing bowl. Blend on low for 2 minutes. The batter should come together in a ball. Pat the batter evenly over the bottom of the 13 x 9 pan. Set aside.
  • 3. For the filling, place the cream cheese in the same mixing bowl and blend on low until fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla and melted butter and beat on medium for 1 minute.

Place the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat (or you can microwave them, too) and cook, stirring until the chips are melted. Measure out 1 cup of the cream cheese filling and fold it into the chocolate mixture, stirring so the batter becomes well blended and all one color. Set aside.
  • 4. Pour the remaining filling onto the crust and spread with spatula so that the filling covers the entire surface. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the top of the filling, then swirl them with a dinner knife so the top of the batter has a marbled effect. Be careful not to cut through the crust.

Categories     Chocolate

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

THE CRUST
1 box fudge or plain chocolate cake mix, super moist, 18.25 ounces (make sure it is not 15 ounce)
1 stick of real butter melted
1 teapoon mexican vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips(6 ounces)
THE FILLING
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon mexican vanilla
3 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted (powdered sugar okay)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and place the rack in the CENTER of the oven.
  • 2. Assemble all the ingredients before you begin. You will need a 9X13 inch pan and a hand mixer. Don't grease the pan.
  • 3. Mix the cake mix, 18.25 ounce size so it will be enough mix to make a ball of dough. Add melted butter, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of Mexican vanilla. Stir on low to mix with a hand mixer for one minute. Finish mixing the ingredients with a wooden spoon. It will be a stiff dough in the shape of a ball.
  • 4. Put the dough ball in the 9X13 inch pan and pat it down and outward with your fingers. Work it evenly and 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. SAVE THE BOWL AND THE BEATERS for the filling, no need to wash them.
  • 5. Add the chocolate chips and the chopped nuts to the pan, and spread them evenly over the crust.
  • 6. Mix the cream cheese together until fluffy. Then add the vanilla and the eggs. Beat with a hand mixer 1 minute on low, then scrape the bowl down and beat one minute on more on medium until smooth. Now add the 3 3/4 cups of confectioner's sugar. Beat on 1 minute on medium speed until well mixed.
  • 7. Scrape the sides down with a spatula. Pour the filling onto the chocolate cake mixture in the baking pan. Cover evenly.
  • 8. Smooth the filling with a spatula. Spread it out so it covers the entire pan up to the sides of the crust. It is ready to bake.
  • 9. Bake 40 minutes or so in the 350 degree oven until the sides pull away and are set, and the center jiggles slightly, and starts to turn a light carmel color. Here is what it looks like when it is baked. Cool on a wire rack. When almost cool, slice intoa bar shape -- about 20 slices. I slice once lenthgwise and then turn the pan and slice across it. You should get 20 slices.
  • 10. Have a slice of this gooey cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
