By the way, looking at pics of Jacob almost makes me want another kiddo almost. My little nephew, Lucas, born same day, same month, same year as Jacob puts on a big smile whenever he sees family. Please, can someone help me? I thought I would try to explain the cream cheese/cake mix comments v. the yeast cake. Ive heard about Gooey Butter Cake from friends in St. Louis, but every time I searched for it the recipes that came up were cake mix based and I wanted to try the real thing.
Egg: more flax goo! The first time I ever heard about this was this weekend. Hi: Im new to your site, but when I saw this post, I had to comment. I love the pics! Maybe just a syrup made from sugar and water and reduced? This looks very similar to the butter cakes that we bought at local bakeries when I was a kid in Philadelphia. All came out great especially the peach, but I think it was just an exceptional peach. Wow. The family pics are adorable, by the way. 
(But I am afraid that would interfere with the butteryness.) Good pics! Pour over cake mixture.
The chewy bits on the edges of the pan remind me a lot of a Dutch pastry that my grandma makes called Banquet. Once you have a bite of this cake, you will forever love it. Why?
its all Im getting :).
http://www.saveur.com/contest_bow.jsp?ID=1000011137, Im what?
I find when Im on your site, I tend to want to make things I wouldnt even normally like just because of your beautiful pics! 
I made this yesterday, and my yeast wasnt properly activated. Deck and a yard! Meg of #147 hey, youre welcome! My coworker was talking about the St. Louis butter cake yesterday. Everything looks wonderful, as per usual, Deb!! I used an 88, the gooey part was too thick. (-) Information is not currently available for this nutrient.
I went so far as to make sure I had all the ingredients I needed, but here it is March and the recipe sits untested. inside.
As a purist myself, I was thrilled to see your recipe! Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan For the cake, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. No sign of baby yet, but mama is feeling happier. Im sometimes a little skittish about yeast, but youre helping me overcome some of my fears. The apricot version includes both sugar and regular corn syrup (not high fructose). I always take the cake out when it turns a darkish golden brown. Totally yummy cake!
Sign up to receive weekly recipes from the Queen of Southern Cooking. But as Im want to make all things myself, from scratch, this is a must for me. love this blog. Make the gooey topping: Heat oven to 350 degrees.
I suspect that the ingredients were a little too cold, and with that and the high fat content, the dough had not risen at all three hours later. But strangers make him scream! Hello. It is and continious to be a treat in our house. Gooey Butter Cake ingredients include cake mix, eggs, butter--of course, cream cheese and powdered sugar. Im not so brave.. Love the family shots Deb! Note that there will be a paper thin sugar "crust" that will form while the cake is baking. HFCS is a highly concentrated, extra extra sweet version of corn syrup that has almost replaced sugar these day in grocery store items.
The center topping wasnt as brown as I thought it should be so I put the broiler on for about 2 minutes and its now a beautiful golden brown.
do you think I could sub brown rice syrup for the corn syrup?
I love that this doesnt call for that!
Late to the party here, but since you said (#99) that you were enjoying learning that your readers hail from STL, Im here to tell you that Im another one. (It was fabulous, by the way.) Join me in celebrating the simple joys of life with easy recipes, effortless home decor, entertaining ideas and more!
My fiancee and I nearly had our first argument over the last piece!
A great day for a Seussical-sounding cake! I wonder if thats where I went wrong. Addendum: I just re-read the Lake Forest recipe and noticed they baked theirs in 88 square pans (which was how they always were sold in the bakery, and baked them 20 25 minutes.
It instantly became a hit! And the recipe my mom always used called for prepackaged cake mix. Its like a super-vanilla-y Chess pie.
Are you familiar with this kind of cake?
There was just enough yeast left to make a loaf of no-knead bread, and since were having a cool spell here in Chicago, Im firing up the oven. Press the dough into an ungreased 9x13'' baking dish. Deb Are you supposed to let the yeast mixture sit for a while before adding it to the butter, salt, sugar mixture? I was hesitant to unleash the gooey butter cake on our west coast friends, but the cake prevailed, not sure why I doubted that this humble cake could win over our foodie friends! 
Allow the pan to cool in the refrigerator before serving with confectioners sugar. This version looks so much better than the ooey gooeys in the St Louis stores. Just wondering: Can I freeze this cake before or after I bake it?
Beautiful pictures! suggestions on what could be used instead of corn syrup? Beautiful picture of Central Park!
with each other experience of copy search phrases and small business measures software system, could engage with assorted transmission solutions. Okay, well, before I get into the evilness that is this cake recipe, I first must say that those are some great snow photos, and the family shots are priceless.
Argg, Deb I made this twice, both times it did not risethe first time, I totally messed up with the butter, the second timeno proofing. (The park entrance on the north corner of 79th and Fifth, by the Met, always has early bulbs.).
#362 Kim Memory and current reality are two different things. .just wanted you to know what all St. Louisans know and that is that we eat Gooey Butter Cake for BREAKFAST!!!! (And if its not, any ideas? Thanks. I made this AMAZING DECADENT dessert for christmas eve and it was the hit of the party. also do you think this freezes? Paula Deen's one-bowl dessert is easy to make. I had some drama with my yeast its a Melbourne winter here and I couldnt find a warm place in the house, so I stuck my step ladder in the front garden, and sat my dish on the top step to catch some afternoon sun.
Directions Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9"-x-13" baking pan with cooking spray.
Soft and incredibly gooey.
Yum! what can i say? I see you have already answered! Thanks! I was glad to see that Gooey Butter Cake recipe in here.
Pour cream cheese mixture over cake mixture. Followed the recipe as written with the exception of heating the milk/water mixture to 110 degrees prior to adding the yeast (it foamed well) and then used a slightly warmed oven, as suggested above, to proof the dough. Im thinking of experimenting with browning the butter for the cake first; how do you think that would turn out?
The active yeast package was new (with a due date of Nov. 2014). I do this by heating the the microwave on low power for 30 seconds. Gooey butter cookies are also popular here! Your description of the cake makes me want to make it NOW, but it is nearing midnight (although Im often an unreasonable nighttime baker).
I may have to go for it after seeing yours.
Such a simple way of showing love, but very satisfying nonethelessand I thank you for helping me to do that. I miss my kids being babies. PRESS mixture into pan. Sometimes when you use a cake pan with less depth, the cake bubbles and spills over. I am a transplanted New Yorker miss the City! Magda. Allow it to cool on a wire cooling rack to room temperature. Didnt even realize what Id done until the dough was nearly finished rising. Add a little of the flour, alternating with adding the corn syrup mixture, until both are combined. Mix cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla with an electric mixer in a bowl. can i just tell you that we made these yesterday and they were FLIPPING DELICIOUS. (Like in a brownie pan?) For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
I suspect that if I had taken it out the top layer would have deflated into waves like described.
It was first made in the 1930s in error by a bakerwho reversed the proportions of butter and flour. Tasted great though.. =) Im making it againg tomorrow, but this time I think Ill make the topping with my electric hand mixer instead, hoping to avoid the too-loose-topping problem.
I wasnt sure if the room temperature milk and warm water were both supposed to be in a range of 100-110 F. SK has never failed me, so I followed the directions (as I interpreted them). I love the idea of apple slices between the layers and will try that next time. I did, and can still see the cake sticking a bit.
Heat it to 200 degrees, dont let it go over. Thank you so much! Everyone agrees, better than schnucks and dierbergs!
#23 im right there with you re corn syrup.
The yeast cake underneath the topping should not be sweet, so it helps to balance out the sweet topping, but the cake is still very sweet. Much love to you, Alex, and Jacob. I had the same reaction you did when I saw this in the NYT food section.
Who no longer have squishy baby cheeks and dont own any snowclothes.
It sure looks good and Id love to try it though. Streusselkuchen, Butterkuchen, all sorts of fruit cakes with streussels/crumbles on top, Bienenstich (bee sting, a regular in my kitchen). My co-workers will, I hope, welcome the sugar and fat so eloquently spun else I get to add GBC to ham as the definition of eternity for one or two people.
Delicious! Ooof all so amazing!
I love Jacobs happy little face!!
thanks for the excellent, thorough instructions and photos. I set the dish of cut bars on the break room counter at 10:00, and theyre nearly gone. Whatever-your-photo-thing-is-worthy. My in-laws (in Central IL) demand it! Post was not sent - check your email addresses!
We used a parchment lined glass dish and baked for 35 minutes. Only change I made was using maple syrup as thats all I had. Its not that I think it will do any great damage in small amounts and realize its not the same as HFCS but I really try to keep chemically processed foods out of my baking and cooking. Oh well! St. Louis has so much history and its so close-knit its like a giant small town.
Deb!

That cake, the photos, your stories, are ridiculous and I am addicted to all of it.
I suspect that a lightly-buttered (not heavily-buttered) pan will help in this endeavor, too.
My other issue was unlike your dough (pre-more yeast), mine wasnt gooey and soft, but firmer and not very sticky. Too bad its still bathing suit season! Hello again! Coco Put a rack fairly low in your oven. Cant wait to make it again.
I baked it in a glass dish, smaller but deeper and it came out wonderfully gooey.
All you need is simple pantry ingredients! Yum!

Bake for 35-45 minutes.
It didnt double, I dont think, but it rose considerably and was puffy and soft. Mix the remaining ingredients on low until smooth. My mother used to make it, albeit with the yellow cake box mix. And to have a recipe without a cake mix is fantastic! Crispy on top, gooey in the middle such a splendid caramel flavour.

Louis!!! There are a few places that will mail order them out over their websites. I recently started blogging too, check out taganskitchen.blogspot.com. Im a St. Louis native and never tried making gooey butter cake while I was still local after moving away, all Ive ever seen online are versions containing cream cheese?! Thanks for giving STL a little shout-out!!
A delightfully light and creamy cream cheese and sugar layer and a thin, flaky crunchy layer that forms on top when its baked. But what do I know, I only took up baking as a hobby two weeks ago. There goes the wedding diet.
Phew! Nothing cures you of greyslushdisgust faster than views like these. We have a few good food traditions in St. Louis and this is one of them (have you tried toasted ravioli? (That was the hard part.)
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. After a few minutes of mixing, however, it all came together nicely. And yours looks just like Kaldis version the real deal!
The best way to describe Gooey Butter Cake is to think of three amazing layers a thick bottom layer made from cake batter. Ive never commented here before but I had to for this cake. I saw you mention that you served your friends this for after dinner dessert .
Argh. I know I say this every time I comment, but I love your website.
I love these!
