Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
I'm going to do this tonight, but instead of yellow cake, I'll use a box of spice cake mix, or gingerbread cake mix.

Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
I brought these in today for the office's October birthday celebration (along with the food processor carrot cake recipe from Cook's Illustrated) and they were a big hit. A ton of my coworkers requested the recipe.
I didn't manage to find any ginger or spice cake mix, so I used plain yellow cake.
One of my coworkers and I were discussing the cake part. Although I liked the recipe overall, I'm not a huge fan of the cloying vanilla flavor in box yellow cake mixes. He suggested trying to make a shortbread next time. I'm still interested in trying out a ginger or spice cake mix, but am unsure if that would be overkill. ?

a little kid's cookbook from the sixties that belonged to one of my mom's younger sisters. it illustrated techniques such as shaping white bread, american cheese & bologna sandwiches with large cookie cutters.

Cook the Book: Easy Gluten-Free Baking
I bake birthday cakes for the monthly birthday celebrations at the office. I have a coworker who has celiac issues, so i've been making lots of cheesecakes and icebox cakes (peanut butter chocolate- yum!) with crusts made from gluten-free cookies. There's a Bobbly Flay recipe for key lime bars with white chocolate sauce and a ginger snap crust that's a messy favorite.
But I digress. My favorites- pretty much anything from Tartine in SF. Here, I like the pithivier from Silver Moon or Jacques Torres. Also, almond bars. My friend ganked this deadly almond bar from epicurious. Damn.

I was in Guatemala in a small highland village staying with a host family as part of a course in health care for developing countries. My host family had seven kids. They got a huge kick out of watching me try to pat out corn tortilla by hand, completely unable to get it anywhere near what it should have been, while even the 7 year-old was a tortilla-shaping machine.
And oooh, those fresh, hot corn tortilla were amazing. I definitely hit the jackpot with the cooking of my host mother. The beans and tortilla (and somehow they found cheese for my then-vegetarian self), they were genius.
Dinner Tonight: Channa Masala
If you crush a few of the chickpeas with the back of your spoon, it releases their starch and thickens the dish.
I tried this last night (plus a few more tomatoes and a cilantro garnish) and it was fantastic.
Grocery Ninja: Sticky, Caramelly, Stroopwafels
i love stroopwafel! when i visited amsterdam, i didn't bother with the "treat" that everyone assumes that you're visiting amsterdam for. i skipped directly to the munchies. stroopwafel munchies (ristaffel munchies, too).
i second mikeymikes2k's suggestion of zabar's.
one of my coworkers also found them in a bakery on the UES. i'll ask her where.
funny that you posted this today. a friend gave me a box of them yesterday purchased during a layover in schipol. i brought them to the office to share, and they didn't last the morning. such yum!

@ieatgoodfood: This breaks down the measurements for many gooey substitutions. For a peanut butter gooey, for example, you'd use a chocolate cake mix for the "crust" part and a cup of peanut butter for the gooey. Everything can be gooey cake-ified!

Guys, you all act like a pack of wolves! So many negative people! You find something to trash and take it to a whole new level! This is a cake......a cake for crying out loud. It's 9" x 13"...........that's not 8"x8".........think about the ratios. Many recipes have that much sugar & butter and even chocolate in them. But you all get on board the "trash the cook" train like Jim Jones followers. I don't use many Paula Deen recipes either, but obviously, she's become an icon due to all her fans. Too bad no one cares what you think or want your recipes, the Lady is rich and you aren't........infact, when she reads mean comments like some of yours, she laughs all the way to her Savannah bank! You're probably sitting there adding your 2 cents while eating takeout burgers with 1500 calories half of which is fat, large sizing your spuds, and washing it down with a tall shake! Food snobs you are!
Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
not that i am defending this recipe because i don't even like pumpkin, but i will say i made the barefoot contessa coconut cupcakes last weekend and they were just as bad in terms of contents -- OVER a box of powdered sugar (including the frosting), a box and a half of cream cheese, two bags of sweetened coconut, and nearly two boxes of butter if i recall. delicious if you forget what's inside! ;)
Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
I've made this twice - once last year, with a whole year to recover, then again this past weekend. My family is over the moon with this recipe, but I will admit the cake layer is truly too sweet for adult tastes.
The pumpkin layer is delicious, light and creamy, but if you serve small pieces you can get away with it. (unless you go back for more.)

How would you substitute the other items you could make this with? Like say peanut butter or strawberries and bananas? Are there alternate recipes lurking around here somewhere? I am not a huge pumpkin fan, but these sound wonderful.

What I really loved was the following two Google Ads between the recipe and the comments:

Hee hee pretty context-sensitive! Google knows you'll need these!

I made regular ones this weekend. I used 3/4 of the amount of suggested sugar and I bet you could use even 1/2 the amount and they would still be very decadent.

@susanova: Ooh, I've never split up the batter like that but that sounds like a reasonable amount of time. Report back!

I have made the pumpkin gooey butter cake many times...although I prefer some of the other flavors that I have made. Has anyone ever made the gooey butter cookies. they are great and everyone loves them.

I'm sorry, but this woman is going to kill us. Been to her restaurant in Savanah and really enjoyed it. The fried chicken and the greens are to die for. I must have eaten 1200-1500 fat grams in one meal. And this recipe-- 16 tablespoons of butter and a BOX of sugar! I'm sure it tastes wonderful but just reading the recipe, I think I gained 5 pounds.

If I put this in 2 8x8 pans, how long do you think the baking time would be? 30 minutes? It looks like a good candidate for a cake walk, but in the half-size.

That's 16 ounces by weight, for the powdered sugar.

I veganized this recipe and made it more healthy by subbing yogurt for the cream cheese. It's absolutely delicious, and best when made with devil's food cake and banana subbed in for the eggs!
Looking forward to enjoying it this winter....if the pumpkin shortage doesn't continue.....

I just made the pumpkin gooey the other day. It is very, very decadent. Ironically, I had found it in this cookbook which she gave out at her recent tv taping of MomLogic.

So I'm not in the states, and I'm wondering about the 16oz box of powdered sugar, which a package size that doesn't seem to be available where I am... is that 16oz by weight or by volume?
Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
My brother made these at Thanksgiving during Paula's first year on FN; he overcooked them (shock) and they were really rich. I would've wanted to try a different gooey.
Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
No pass from me either...those are gross. And I looooove me some pumpkin.
Why butter in the pumpkin mixture? That seems weird. And the whole box of sugar. Gag. I don't even use a whole box to make frosting.
Ew.

@dmcavanagh--thanks for saying what I was thinking. There seems to be a strange shift towards boxed stuff on SE as of late.
Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
Gooey butter cake is an old St. Louis standard, almost never made at home. We've got a couple of new places doing it in multiple flavors, including one with the wonderful name of Gooey Louie's. Basically, it was always something that came from the many little German bakeries that once existed in residential neighborhoods. For me, I preferred the variation that put the topping on a yeast dough rather than a cakey bottom; it seemed to cut the richness. You will never hear me use the words "It's too rich for me", to be sure, but GBC is not one of my big faves. We never had it in restaurants until the last few years, but now you can occasionally find it. One serves it with a tall, slim glass of very cold milk, the proper accompaniment.

Because this recipe actually tastes good.
Sandra Lee often doesn't meet that criteria.
Cook the Book: Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes
That doesn't look all that great to me, and if a recipe from Sandra Lee was posted here using a boxed cake mix, every responder would hammer her, but I guess Paula Deen gets a pass. Why is that?
