Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for baking dish
1/4 cup warm whole milk (100 degrees)
1 envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 large egg, plus 1 large yolk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light corn syrup
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Brush a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with butter. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the long sides, and butter. Set aside.
  • Make the cake: In a small bowl, stir together milk and yeast; let stand until slightly foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour in two additions, alternating with the milk mixture. Beat on medium speed until it forms a soft dough, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Press dough into prepared baking dish and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place until puffy and full of air, about 1 hour.
  • Make the topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat to combine, scraping down sides of bowl. Add flour in two additions, alternating with corn syrup. Beat until thoroughly combined.
  • Spread topping evenly over risen dough using an offset spatula. Bake until just golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely in baking dish on a wire rack before dusting with confectioners' sugar and serving.

This very moist cake (almost like a cheese cake) is from the Cake Mix Doctor - she has some great ideas for using cake mixes, and this is definitely one of them. Very moist, and rich and plenty of chocolate and very easy to make. It was a definite hit with my chocoholic husband.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



CHOCOLATE MARBLE GOOEY BUTTER CAKE image

And..another one of my favorite variations on the gooey butter cake!

Provided by Gay Farrar @Ivorytickler

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

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 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 - stick butter, melted
3-3/4 cup(s) confectioners sugar, sifted
1 package(s) (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 and set aside a 13 x 9 pan, ungreased.
  • 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.
  • 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. Add the confectioners sugar and beat until this is well incorporated. 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake 45-47 minutes. Remove the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool, 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs. This will help the cake batter come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cake. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This chocolate marble gooey butter cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, gooey center, and beautiful marbled appearance, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate marble gooey butter cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
