Time 1h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
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
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until blended. Add the eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and beat to combine. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in three parts, mixing well between each addition and scraping down the bowl to fully combine. Put the dough in the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer across the bottom.
  • For the gooey: Beat together the cream cheese and butter in the cleaned mixer bowl until combined. Using the low stir setting, add the confectioners' sugar and eggs in three parts, alternating between the two and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until combined. Mix in the vanilla and buttermilk. Pour the mixture over the dough in the pan and use a spatula to smooth over the top.
  • Bake until the cake has set and the edges are golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then dust with more confectioners' sugar before serving.

A Canadian Foodie's Original Cheater Turtle Cake Recipe image

Provided by Valerie Lugonja

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

One Devil's Food or very dark chocolate double layer cake mix
3 large eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 cup water
2/3 can of sweetened condensed milk ((usually Eaglebrand))
1/2 cup butter
50 Kraft Caramels (, peeled)
1 generous cup pecans (, toasted)
1 generous cup excellent quality chocolate chip chunks ((like Callebault))
1 batch of Cheater Caramel Filling
Icing sugar
Mint leaves
Berries
Whipped Cream
More whole pecans (, toasted)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F; place rack is in middle
  • Prepare 9 inch springform cake pan: butter and flour bottom
  • Place disc of parchment paper on bottom; butter both sides of it
  • Follow directions on box; pour 1/2 batter into springform pan (best to be less than half than more than half)
  • Place in oven; bake for 15 minutes (set timer)
  • Place all ingredients into small heavy sauce pan; heat, stirring regularly, until caramels are melted and all ingredients fully incorporated into a thick mass
  • Prepare the nuts and chocolate so they are ready when the cake comes out of the oven
  • Remove cake from oven at 15 minutes; surface tension should be taught
  • Starting with chocolate around outer edge of pan and in toward middle, sprinkle completely over cake until covered single layer
  • Repeat process with toasted pecans; stir caramel filling and pour along inside of pan rim in the same manner as the chocolate and the nuts, until completely covered with chocolate
  • Pour remaining cake batter over caramel filling, ensuring that it is completely covered with batter
  • Return cake to oven; bake another 50 to 60 minutes, until toothpick comes out completely clean in the middle: when in doubt, don't take it out.... best to not have middle sink (leave in 5-6 more minutes or up to 60 minutes)
  • Remove from oven and rest for 20 minutes on cake rack: set timer for 20 minutes
  • Instructions for Storing Cake until Service:
  • Cake must still be warm to push toasted pecans vertically against side of caramel filling; pecans of same size look best, spaced at regular intervals (work quickly)
  • For easy removal of cake from pan later, set cake on top of large sheet of plastic wrap with spring form bottom still in tact; wrap cake up sides (usually takes 2-3 sheets of wrap), even if still warm and set back into springform pan
  • Store in fridge or wrap completely and store in freezer
  • Thaw completely, if frozen; remove springform pan
  • Set on serving tray or pedestal; dust with icing sugar
  • If there is a dip in the cake, fill with toasted pecans; dust with more icing sugar
  • Slice and serve with a sprig of mint, a berry, and whipping cream

A friend gave me a quick version of this gooey butter cake recipe using a cake mix, but I prefer baking from scratch, so I made my own version. My family can't get enough! The middle will sink a little; this is normal. This dessert is delicious served warm or cold. -Cheri Foster, Vail, Arizona

DISNEY WORLD'S OOEY GOOEY TOFFEE CAKE



Disney World's Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake image

A delicious dessert that is Disney approved! A gooey cookie like cake that is topped with ice cream and caramel drizzle and chocolate covered toffee bits.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix
1 large egg
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter (softened)
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate covered toffee bits (Heath bits)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan or cupcake/muffin tins.
  • In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, egg and softened butter until well blended. Gently press into bottom of prepared pan.
  • Then in another bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in eggs, vanilla, and butter and mix well. Then add in the powdered sugar and beat until well blended.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee chips. Spread over the cake mix bottom that is in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes. You'll want it to be golden brown and the center just a little gooey.
  • This serves about 24 if you make it in a 9 x 13 or in cupcake tins.
  • **If making these in the cupcake tin you will want to roll the bottom cake mixture into about 24 little balls and press gently into the generously greased and floured cupcake tins. (Do not use cupcake liners, they stick really bad) Then add a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the top of each. Cook for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Cool and loosen around the edges with a small knife before removing from pan. They may stick a little so loosen gently and lift out.
  • Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and ice cream toppings.

Tips:

  • Use a store-bought cake mix for the base layer. This will save you time and effort, and it will still yield a delicious and moist cake.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Use a variety of chopped nuts in the filling. This will add texture and flavor to the cake.
  • Don't overcook the cake. The center should be just set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a chocolate ganache for the topping. This will give the cake a rich and decadent flavor.
  • Serve the cake chilled or at room temperature. Either way, it's sure to be a hit!

Conclusion:

Turtle ooey gooey cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its chocolatey, caramel-y, and nutty flavors, this cake is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
