Categories     dessert

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.

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 MOLLY CAKE (FAT FREE!)



Gooey Molly Cake (fat free!) image

A sticky, moist fruit cake miraculously made without butter or eggs. This is the ultimate guilt-free sweet treat

Provided by charlythechef

Time 55m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

250g stoned dates, roughly chopped
300ml water
85g plain flour
85g wholemeal plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp cinnamon
500g mixed dried fruit
80 ml orange juice
(Optional iced fruit topping)
50g sifted icing sugar
1/2 tbsp apricot jam
1/2 tbsp water
3 chopped dried apricots
4 chopped glacier cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the dates in a saucepan, and add the water. Bring the mixture to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Sieve the plain flour, wholemeal flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the mixed spice and cinnamon.
  • Pour the wet date mixture into the dry mix, then add the dried fruit and the orange juice. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into a greasproof paper-lined loaf tin, or divide it between 6 smaller tins. Bake for 40-45 minutes if making one large loaf, or 30 minutes for the mini mollies. A skewer stuck in the centre of the cake should come out clean.
  • Leave the cake to cool on a wire rack for at least an hour. To make the iced topping (if using), melt the jam and water together in the microwave. Add wet mixture to the icing sugar, and stir well. Drizzle over the cake, and sprinkle the chopped apricots and cherries on the top. Alternatively, decorate with ready to roll icing, cut into shapes.

Tips:

  • Use low-fat or fat-free dairy products. This will help to reduce the overall fat content of the cake.
  • Use unsweetened applesauce or mashed bananas as a substitute for butter or oil. This will add moisture and sweetness to the cake without adding any fat.
  • Reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe. Sugar is a high-calorie ingredient, so reducing the amount will help to make the cake healthier.
  • Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
  • Add fruits, vegetables, or nuts to the cake batter. This will add flavor, nutrients, and texture to the cake.

Conclusion:

Gooey Molly cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make a healthier version of this classic cake that is still just as delicious.
