Now y'all have seen me make gooey butter cake
0:05
several times on the show.
0:07
I think out of all the gooey butter cakes,
0:10
just the basic recipe may very well be my favorite.
0:14
And then I'm addin' chocolate toffee bits
0:17
and you can find these in your bakin' section.
0:20
These are just yummy.
0:22
So I'm gonna start with the base to our gooey butter cake.
0:25
I've got a stick of butter melted here.
0:28
I've got a yellow cake mix here.
0:31
I'm gonna add one egg, (egg cracking)
0:35
and one stick of melted butter.
0:42
Now, while I'm mixin' up this,
0:44
I'm gonna go ahead and add another stick of butter.
0:49
So that's gonna melt and we're gonna mix this up.
0:53
And this batter is gonna be real, real thick.
1:05
All right, I've got our crust, and one egg,
1:08
and one stick of melted butter blended together here.
1:12
But because I'm cookin' outside
1:14
and usin' my little mini oven,
1:16
a 13 X 9 X 2 wouldn't fit in this oven.
1:19
So I'm doin' it in two 8 X 8 pans.
1:22
All I'm gonna do is divide our batter up,
1:27
half in one pan and half in the other.
1:30
And we're just gonna press this into our pan.
1:34
Now we're gonna come over here
1:36
and we're gonna make the fillin'
1:38
to our gooey butter cake.
1:39
And I'm gonna use this same bowl.
1:41
I don't have to wash it.
1:43
It's not gonna affect the center of our gooey.
1:46
I'm gonna start with an eight ounce package of cream cheese
1:51
that's been softened to room temperature.
1:54
I'm gonna add two eggs. (eggs cracking)
2:02
A teaspoon of vanilla.
2:10
Another stick of melted butter.
2:14
(spatula clanging) Gonna get every drop out.
2:17
And one 16 ounce box of powdered sugar.
2:29
Now, we're just gonna beat this up until it's smooth.
2:40
And now we're gonna add our toffee bits to this.
2:49
And I'm just gonna fold those in.
2:52
Now, you can get toffee bits two ways.
2:56
You can get the plain toffee bits
2:58
or you can get toffee bits with chocolate.
3:02
Now, I'm gonna divide this center
3:07
into both of these pans.
3:15
And I'm just spreadin' this out.
3:22
All right, now, I like a little sprinkled on top,
3:29
you can see that it's not just a regular gooey butter cake.
3:33
So I'm gonna take a few and just put on top like that.
3:38
Now, I'm gonna put these in the oven.
3:41
It's been preheated to 350 degrees.
3:45
And because of the sizes of these pans,
3:49
I'm gonna just watch that.
3:51
I'm gonna keep checkin' on 'em periodically
3:54
after like 30 minutes.
3:56
Our gooey butter cakes turned out really, really good.
4:01
It's amazin' how well these little ovens'll bake.
4:07
These gooey butter cakes look delicious too.
4:10
Sometimes I'll use these to put in the center
4:16
I'm gonna try to resist tastin' it
4:17
and just keep those piled up there.
4:23
They look scrumptious.
4:25
I think the cook has earned the right
4:27
to taste a gooey butter cake.
4:32
So let's see how they turned out.
4:36
You can see the toffee nut and the chocolate
4:39
in the gooey part of that.
4:48
It's unbelievably rich.
4:50
While our cake's bakin', I'm gonna clean up.
