Gooey Cake? Anyone ever heard of it?
i found this after poking around on google for a while. i'm SO making this the next time i have an excuse to bake.
How to make St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake:
Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
Filling
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar to prepare the crust. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling together. Pat into the bottom and sides of a greased 9 x 9 pan.
To prepare the filling, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in egg until combined. A bit at a time, alternately add the flour and evaporated milk, mixing after each addition. Add corn syrup and vanilla. Mix at medium speed until well blended.
Pour filling into crust-lined pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until cake is nearly set. Do not overcook. Let cool in pan.
'The Most Revolting Dish Ever Devised'? Or Have You Seen Worse?
when i first got a computer i started hanging out at a cooking website that i won't name... but all of the women there posted recipes that called for things that mixed a box of cake mix with crushed pretzels, crushed canned pineapple, cool-whip, lime jello, and mayonnaise.
