Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter mix together more easily and create a smoother cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the melted butter last: This will help keep the cake moist and prevent it from becoming too dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not overbake the cake: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

With its moist, gooey texture and buttery flavor, Mom's Gooey Butter Cake is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. By following these tips, you can make a delicious gooey butter cake that will be the star of any party or gathering.
