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.

KALDI'S GOOEY BUTTER CAKE



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.

Tips:

  • Use quality butter. The better the butter, the better the cake will be. Look for a butter that is unsalted and has a high fat content.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it cream together with the sugar and eggs more easily.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help it rise evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Kaldi's Gooey Butter Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and gooey texture, and its rich and buttery flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
