Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine the cake mix, nutmeg, vanilla and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and mix just until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a clean mixer bowl with the paddle on medium speed until light and smooth, scraping the sides occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla bean paste and eggs and beat until smooth. Add the melted butter and beat until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed to incorporate, and then beat on medium until light and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour over the cake layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake until the edges are puffed and golden brown and the center is just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares to serve.

1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Provided by Martha Stewart

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 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.

ST. LOUIS GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake image

Legend has it that the St. Louis gooey butter cake originated by accident in the 1930s, when a baker mixed up the proportion of butter in one of his coffee cakes. Rather than throw it out, he sold it by the square, and the sugary, sticky confection was a hit. Naturally, a slice of gooey cake ends up next to - or in place of - the pumpkin pie at many a Missourian's Thanksgiving table. Some bakers like to add pumpkin and spices to the gooey filling. Not so in this yeast-risen version from Molly Killeen, the St. Louis native behind Made by Molly, a dessert company in Brooklyn. Her recipe is soft-centered, crisp-edged and not too sweet. The leftovers are excellent for breakfast the next morning.

Time 4h30m

Yield 16 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons/45 milliliters milk at room temperature
1 3/4 teaspoons/5 grams active dry yeast
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter at room temperature
3 tablespoons/45 grams sugar
1 teaspoon/5 grams kosher salt
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups/215 grams all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon/50 milliliters light corn syrup
2 1/2 teaspoons/10 milliliters vanilla extract
12 tablespoons/170 grams/1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups/300 grams sugar
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams kosher salt
1 large egg
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons/145 grams all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix milk with 2 tablespoons warm water. Add yeast and whisk gently until it dissolves. Mixture should foam slightly.
  • Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and salt. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat in the egg. Alternately add flour and the milk mixture, scraping down sides of bowl between each addition. Beat dough on medium speed until it forms a smooth mass and pulls away from sides of bowl, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Press dough into an ungreased 9-by 13-inch baking dish at least 2 inches deep. Cover dish with plastic wrap or clean tea towel, put in a warm place, and allow to rise until doubled, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. To prepare topping, in a small bowl, mix corn syrup with 2 tablespoons water and the vanilla. Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat in the egg. Alternately add flour and corn syrup mixture, scraping down sides of bowl between each addition.
  • Spoon topping in large dollops over risen cake and use a spatula to gently spread it in an even layer. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes; cake will rise and fall in waves and have a golden brown top, but will still be liquid in center when done. Allow to cool in pan before sprinkling with confectioners' sugar for 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 room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This prevents the eggs from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps the cake rise evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This helps the frosting set properly.
