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

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.

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.

- 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.
GOOEY BUTTER CAKE I
This a very rich cake, but mmmmmmmm so good. Best eaten with milk or coffee. You can also make it a Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake if desired. Just use a chocolate cake mix in place of the yellow.

GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
The signature dessert of St. Louis is just what its name suggests-a wonderfully gooey butter cake that doesn't quite set when baked.

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.

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. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour in two additions, alternating with the milk mixture. Beat on medium speed until it forms a soft dough, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Press dough into prepared baking dish and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place until puffy and full of air, about 1 hour.
- Make the topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat to combine, scraping down sides of bowl. Add flour in two additions, alternating with corn syrup. Beat until thoroughly combined.
- Spread topping evenly over risen dough using an offset spatula. Bake until just golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely in baking dish on a wire rack before dusting with confectioners' sugar and serving.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter to mix together smoothly and evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Do not open the oven door while the cake is baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
