AUTHENTIC ST. LOUIS GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



Authentic St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake image

There are many great gooey butter cake recipes out there but this is different from the cake mix variety because it has a yeast dough bottom. I grew up eating these cakes from a little bakery in Clayton, Mo and this recipe is as close to those as I've ever come across.

GOOEY BUTTER STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Gooey Butter Strawberry Shortcake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

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!

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake is not done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a creamier frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cake.
  • Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries, sprinkles, or other desired toppings.
