GOOEY BUTTER STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Provided by á-11624

Number Of Ingredients 16

CRUST
1 cup cake flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
FILLING
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened, 1 1/2 cups
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
TOPPING
1 pound strawberries, quartered
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. MAKE THE CRUST Whisk together cake flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling together. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 10" cast iron skillet. This step is a lot harder than it sounds, but be patient and use the back of a spoon to help spread/press the mixture down. I also stuck mine in the fridge for a bit to make the butter less sticky. MAKE THE FILLING Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy and pale yellow (about 2 to 3 minutes). Mix in the egg until just combined. Alternate adding the flour and evaporated milk, mixing after each addition. Mix in the corn syrup and vanilla. Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. (I forgot to do this, and did it afterwards. Oops). BAKE AND ASSEMBLE THE CAKE Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until cake is nearly set (mine was probably ready around 30 minutes). Some jiggle is fine - do not overcook! It'll finish setting up as it cools. Let it cool in pan for 2 hours. In the meantime, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. Pile heaps of fresh strawberries into the center of your cooled, set gooey butter cake, top with a mountain of freshly whipped cream, and serve. NOTE If you don't have a skillet, I believe you can bake this in a greased 9-inch square baking dish (I'd use a glass one if you have it, and check it early and often. Remove when there's some jiggle left.) Let us know how it goes if you try it this way for all the other skilletless people!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start making the dough. This will help to keep the dough from becoming too greasy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, it will be difficult to cook through.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown on top. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the shortcakes cool slightly before assembling the strawberry shortcake. This will help to prevent the strawberries from making the shortcakes soggy.
  • Serve the strawberry shortcake with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Gooey butter strawberry shortcake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky biscuits, sweet strawberries, and creamy filling, this dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone.
