Gooey Butter Cake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Warm milk in microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds. You just want it to be warm, make sure it doesn't exceed 120F, as this will kill the yeast.
  • Mix yeast and 1 T sugar, add yeast/sugar mixture to warm milk, stir to combine and set aside for five minutes (the yeast will be bubbling, that shows that it's active)
  • Using paddle attachment on mixer, cream the butter, remaining sugar, and salt.
  • Scrap down sides of bowl, add egg, mix on medium speed until smooth.
  • Switch mixer to low speed, add the yeast mixture and flour gradually. Once incorporated, increase to medium speed and beat until it forms a smooth mass and pulls away from the side of the bowl (approx. 7 to 10 minutes).
  • Remove dough from ball and on a lightly floured surface knead for one minute.
  • Place dough ball into a lightly greased bowl, cover with lint resistant towel, or plastic wrap, until it doubles in size (approximately 1 hour)
  • While dough is fermenting, prepare topping.
  • On medium/low speed blend cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, scrap down sides as needed.
  • Pour in one stick of melted butter (it's not called gooey BUTTER cake for nothing), mix until incorporated into cream cheese/egg mixture
  • Turn mixer down to low speed, gradually add in confectioner's sugar, blend until smooth.
  • Add vanilla, increase to medium speed, blend for five minutes until mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 inch glass baking pan. Press dough evenly into the pan, form a slight edge to prevent "goo" from escaping.
  • Dock the dough so any steam can escape and not puff up the dough.
  • Pour buttery cream cheese mixture onto the dough, spread and bake @ 350F for 35 to 45 minutes.
  • The middle will be liquidy/giggly but the base should be golden brown when done.
  • Cool in pan, serve at room temperature.
