Kaldi's Gooey Butter Cake image

This was posted in StL Today recently. For those not familiar, Kaldi's is a wonderful coffee shop, with equally wonderful desserts. Their gooey butter cake was voted the favorite in St. Louis. I have made this recipe, and the top is a little more custard like than I think Kaldi's is, but it's still a great cake.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter, softened (one stick)
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons water
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix (18 to 19 oz)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 lbs powdered sugar, plus more for garnish (about 5 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch metal pan with foil; coat foil with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the crust. Combine butter, 1 egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla; beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Add water, cake mix and flour; beat until combined. Place dough into the prepared pan, and press into an even layer.
  • Prepare the topping. Beat cream cheese at medium speed about 2 minutes, until very smooth. Add 3 eggs and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla and beat until combined. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating just until blended and smooth. Pour topping over crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool completely. Just before serving, sift 3 to 4 tablespoons powdered sugar over cake.
