Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

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.

GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



Gooey Butter Cake image

The signature dessert of St. Louis is just what its name suggests-a wonderfully gooey butter cake that doesn't quite set when baked.

Provided by Anne Byrn

Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup whole milk
2¼ tsp. (1 package) active dry yeast
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
¾ tsp. salt
1 large egg
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
Soft butter for prepping the pans
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup light corn syrup
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup cake flour
Confectioners' sugar for dusting the cake

Steps:

  • For the cake, place the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 1 minute, or in the microwave on low power for 45 seconds, and heat until the milk is 100° F. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk, and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
  • Place the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer, and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour alternately with the yeast and milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. When all the flour has been added, blend on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly rub butter into the bottom of two 8" square pans. Divide the dough in half, and press one half into the bottom of each pan. Cover each pan loosely with plastic wrap, and place in a warm place to rise until nearly doubled, about 2 hours.
  • When the dough has nearly finished rising, make the filling. Place the butter, sugar, salt, and corn syrup in a large mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the vanilla and 1 egg. Beat on medium speed until combined, then add the second egg. Add the milk and half the flour, beating until combined. Add the rest of the flour, and beat until smooth. Set aside.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the filling over the rising dough, dividing it evenly between the 2 pans, and spread it to the edges. Place the pans in the oven.
  • Bake the cakes until the tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let the cakes cool for 20 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, slice, and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Conclusion:

Gooey butter cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and gooey texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give gooey butter cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
