- All right, Logan, now that you have
0:03

0:04
- The dogs, Aunt Peggy, Eddie, me,
0:08
we're ready to cook.
0:09
- I'm so excited to be here with you, Miss Paula.
0:12
- Oh, listen, I have been looking so forward
0:14
to you coming here, Logan.
0:16
- Me too. - We gonna make
0:17
a Gooey Butter Cake. - My all-time favorite.
0:20
- [Paula] Un-huh, but we're not using
0:21
a cake mix this time. - Okay.
0:23
- [Paula] So I've measured out 2 cups of flour
0:25
and 1 3/4 cup of sugar.
0:27
Now if you'll take that whisk- - I will.
0:30
- And you know, just break it down
0:32
because that flour, it can get lumpy
0:35
if you're not careful. - Right.
0:37
- Okay?
0:43
Stir, stir, stir.
0:46
- Okay. - Okay, now we're gonna add
0:51
powdered milk. - Okay.
0:54
- And that can be good
0:55
in a lot of recipes.
0:58
(bowl clunking on counter)
0:59
I make a peanut butter ball
1:02
that's made with powdered milk
1:04
and I think it's such a good snack.
1:06
Okay, so I wanna help you
1:07
on that. - Yeah, help me out here.
1:08
- I want you to kind of
1:10
go like that. - Okay.
1:12
- Go around, don't be afraid of it.
1:14
It ain't gonna beat you- - It won't?
1:15
- You're gonna beat it. - Okay.
1:17
(Paula laughing) - You gotta teach me.
1:20
- I'm gonna work with ya. - I want you to.
1:22
- I heard you've been in the kitchen
1:23

1:25
Praxton. (Paula laughing)
1:28
- What ya been practicing? - The Ooey-Gooey Butter Cake.
1:31
(both laughing) - Okay, and then
1:32
I switched it,
1:33
did a switcheroo on ya- - I know.
1:35
And we're not using
1:36
the cake mix. - I know.
1:37
- So you just keep
1:38
mixing that together, baby. - Okay.
1:42
But I've been so excited
1:43
to come visit with ya
1:44
and everything. - Oh, I've been excited too.
1:46
- Your house is beautiful. - Oh, thank ya.
1:48
- Just like you. - Oh, you're so sweet.
1:50
Listen, this is the sweetest
1:52
young man. - Aw, you're so sweet.
1:54
- And lemme see. (top popping off container)
1:58
- Did I stir everything? - Yeah, you're stirring okay.
2:00
- Okay. - But I'm gonna give you
2:01
something else to stir. - Okay.
2:03
More? - Yes, 1/2 a cup,
2:07
1/2 half a teaspoon, y'all, not 1/2 a cup,
2:10
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. - Okay.
2:14
- [Paula] And then we're gonna add,
2:18
that thing is so- - Can you get it?
2:20
- No, I can't. - We're messy.
2:21
- I'll do it later. - Okay.
2:23
- All right, and then we're gonna do 1 tablespoon
2:30
of baking powder. (container lid clunking)
2:35
See if I can get it.
2:41
This is a little, little can.
2:44
All right, there you go. - Okay.
2:45
- Okay, so keep mixing. - Okay.
2:48
- Mix, mix. - Mix, mix.
2:50
- Mix, mix, mix. (Paula laughing)
2:52
- Yes, all right, now we're gonna add
2:58
1/4 of a teaspoon of nutmeg. - Okay.
3:02
- Ground nutmeg.
3:05
And I like to use fresh nutmeg but,
3:08
you know, since we need so little,
3:10
I think the ground
3:11
will be fine. - Yeah.
3:13
- Now we need to add the 3/4 cup
3:17
of melted butter. - Okay.
3:19
- All right- (whisk clunking on bowl)
3:20
So now we've got that all mixed up real good
3:22
so now we're gonna take
3:23
your mixer. - Okay.
3:25
- And you just turn it,
3:28
just like- - Not a whole lot, yeah.
3:30
- You're not gonna
3:31
wipe me out. - Okay.
3:32
- Okay, so put it in there. - Okay.
3:34
- And I'm gonna
3:35
add your butter. - Okay,
3:39
I don't wanna get you messy. - No, you're not,
3:41
it doesn't matter.
3:43
Many times I wind up looking like
3:45
the Pillsbury Doughboy. (Logan laughing)
3:47
So don't worry about me. - I'm the
3:48
Pillsbury Doughboy, so.
3:50
- [Paula] And once you get that,
3:52
and it's gonna be
3:52
real, real thick. - Okay?
3:54
- [Paula] Because we're gonna pack this
3:56
into the bottom of our pan, this is actually gonna be
3:58
our crust part. - Okay.
4:00
I can't believe I'm cooking with you.
4:03
- I can't either, I just, like I said,
4:06
every time I go to Branson, I look so forward
4:09
to you coming in to see me. - Aww, thank you.
4:13
- You know it's just not the same if you don't come.
4:16
- Thank you.
4:17
- All right- (baking items clunking)
4:17
So now that your hands are clean
4:19
we're gonna take this- - Okay.
4:21
(bowl clunking on counter) Okay.
4:22
- And press it into our dish. - Okay.
4:28
- So just get in- - Um-hm.
4:29
- Get in there. - Just get it.
4:30
- Okay. - And press it in.
4:33
There you go, there you go, that's right.
4:39
- Okay, I've seen you do this. - Okay, but we gonna get
4:41
all of it. - Okay, yeah.
4:43
(both laughing)
4:44
Not saving. - You know,
4:46
I have a thing about- - Waste?
4:48
- Yes. - Okay.
4:49
- [Paula] Getting to every bit of it,
4:51
and look, there was another
4:52
little drop of butter. - That's good.
4:53
- [Paula] So I'm gonna get this outta your way,
4:55
I'm gonna give that to Eddie- - We don't wanna
4:57
waste anything. - No.
5:03
And you can kinda let it go up the sides
5:05
just a little bit, Logan. - Okay.
5:09
Does it look good? - It looks perfect.
5:10
- Okay. - Just beat it, beat it,
5:12
beat it. - Beat it, beat it.
5:14
- [Paula] Okay, now we're gonna have to have
5:15
another bowl. - Okay.
5:17
- [Paula] And you can put that.
5:18
(Paula's ring clunking on counter)
5:19
Back up here. - Okay.
5:21
And we're gonna need another
5:25
3/4 of stick of melted butter.
5:28
And for the filling we have two eggs
5:32
and I forgot to mix in the pecans,
5:36
but that's all right. - Okay.
5:38
Okay. - All we have to do
5:39
is just spread 'em
5:42
and then push 'em in
5:45
to your crust. - The pecans.
5:47
- Yeah, pecans, honey. (Logan laughing)
5:49
Just press that in. - Okay.
5:51
- You know, it's hard to,
5:53
just about everything in the kitchen
5:55
you can fix. - Yeah.
5:57
- It can be fixed.
5:58
I've never been able to fix something
6:00
that I scorched. - Yeah.
6:02
- You know? - Oh yeah.
6:04
- I can't fix that- (wrapping crunching)
6:05
But you can fix most things,
6:07
so, you know, don't distress,
6:09
just stop a second- - Don't distress,
6:11
nothing's perfect. - That's right.
6:13
All right, so you beat up
6:14
your cream cheese, baby. - Okay.
6:19
Okay. - Beat it, beat it.
6:22
(mixer clicking on)
6:28
And it was nice and soft,
6:29
you always want your cream cheese
6:30
at room temperature. - Okay.
6:32
- [Paula] And I'm gonna go ahead and put
6:34
your two eggs in. (eggs clunking on bowl)
6:37
(beaters clunking on bowl)
6:37
So you know, it's always one egg for the crust
6:41
and two for the center.
6:44
You can start adding in our powdered sugar.
6:47
All right, here we go, you may wanna cut it back down
6:49
a little bit. - Okay.
6:50
- [Paula] Now that we're adding.
6:54
(beaters clunking on bowl)
6:56
I'm gonna add a little butter
6:58
so you can have- - Okay.
6:59
- [Paula] Something to mix.
7:01
- Gotta have the butter. - Gotta have the butter.
7:04
(beater clunking on bowl)
7:05
If you didn't it wouldn't be called,
7:07
Gooey Butter Cake. - Oh, can't wait.
7:11
- Okay, a little bit more.
7:15
And let me get a little vanilla,
7:20
before we forget and add
7:21
like a teaspoon. - There's the vanilla.
7:24
- [Ed] And you know what, we're at the end of that bottle
7:27
so this is your public service announcement.
7:30
- Oh my- (Logan laughing)
7:31
- [Ed] If you want to make vanilla for Christmas,
7:33
go on and start making it now. - Drink a little of it.
7:36
- Oh, it's so nasty, it tastes awful.
7:38
- It just smells good. - It just smells so good.
7:40
- Yeah.
7:41
I can just pour it on there? - Put that
7:43
evenly on top. - Okay.
7:44
- Yes.
7:46
- [Logan] Now I can't
7:47
waste any of this. - That's right.
7:49
- Yeah. - So you know
7:50
I'm gonna go in and help ya
7:51
with that? - Yes.
7:52
(Paula laughing) - Here, come here and help me.
7:54
- Okay, yeah,
7:56
'cause that bowl- (spatula clunking on pan)
7:57
Gets heavy, it gets heavy,
8:00
and it's hard to hold and scrape it all out,
8:05
you know, at the same time.
8:08
See that, that was another cookie we had in there.
8:10
(both laughing) (bowl clunking on counter)
8:12
Be careful, I'm- - Uh-oh, we're making a mess.
8:14
- I'm making a mess, honey,
8:16
I always make a mess. - That's okay.
8:17
- You can get that
8:18
while I spread- - Yeah.
8:19
- This out for ya.
8:20
All right, so 350.
8:23
- Yes. - About 40 to 45 minutes,
8:25
and of course it depends on your oven.
8:28
Well it called for 2 tablespoons of just granulated sugar,
8:32
and I was thinking it was brown sugar, but it's not,
8:37
so I put one of that
8:38
on the back. - Okay.
8:39
- It's gonna be all right. - Yeah.
8:40
- Like I said, you,
8:42
that's small stuff. - Yeah.
8:45
- All right, but if you want to measure out
8:49
4 teaspoons of cornstarch- - Okay.
8:52
- Now this is what's gonna
8:53
make it fizz. - Okay.
8:55
- So you wanna make sure that you use the proper amount
8:59
'cause it can- - Yes.
9:01
- Get too thick. - Yeah, we don't wanna
9:02
use the wrong- - And then it's not good.
9:03
No. - No.
9:04
(cooking items clunking on counter)
9:05
- All right, so if you'll take
9:06
your whisk. - Okay.
9:07
- And I'm gonna put your
9:08
high on. - Okay.
9:09
- So just whisk that up good. - All right.
9:12
- Good, good and fast,
9:15
while I wash my hands.
9:17
Now we are adding our 3/4 cup
9:20
of heavy cream. - Okay.
9:21
- So stir, stir, stir,
9:23
and I've got your high on.
9:29
So we're gonna just let our syrup cook.
9:32
You know until it starts to thicken
9:34
and the sugar melts. - Okay.
9:37
And this doesn't call for as much butter
9:41
as our actual cake did,
9:43
but you know you gotta have some butter
9:45
on this side. - Oh, butter's the best,
9:48
gotta have the butter. - It is.
9:50
- Oh my. - So much better.
9:52
- That's your weakness. - I think we call it
9:54
something, yeah, it calls for 2 tablespoons.
9:58
- Oh yes.
9:59
- Okay, I think that's it y'all,
10:01
so all we got to do now is
10:03
add our vanilla, our pecans,
10:07
and we just gonna let it cool. - Okay.
10:12
- Until our cake is ready.
10:14
Oh yeah, look, whoa. - Oh, don't get
10:16
that little critter outta there.
10:17
(both laughing)
10:20
- Look, there wasn't a whole lot left in there
10:22
so we're gonna use it all.
10:23
- Well, thank you to whoever gave that to ya.
10:26
- And say, adios. (Logan laughing)
10:29
Adios.
10:30
Okay, so I've turned you off.
10:33
So now we are just gonna stir in the nuts,
10:37
put it to the side and when that Gooey Butter Cake is ready.
10:41
- Oh, it's gonna be so good. - It is gonna be so good.
10:44
Logan, I just got your Gooey Butter Cake
10:48
outta the oven. - Ooh, it looks so good.
10:49
- You did a good job, didn't you?
10:51
- We did.
10:52
- And like I said, I know y'all got that plane to catch
10:55
and this is so hot and you know
10:56
this usually doesn't cut well. - Did we do good?
10:59
- Yeah, we did good, but it needs
11:02
to cook some more. - Okay.
11:07
I don't know, it's so good,
11:10
but it's still a little gooey.
11:13
- Too gooey?
11:14
- Yeah, so I'm gonna put it
11:16
back in the oven- - Okay.
11:16
- For a few minutes. - Okay.
11:18
- And it'd be so good to eat it like this,
11:23
so. (background talking)
11:25
(Logan laughing) (indistinct)
11:28
- Okay. - Yeah, I'm gonna
11:30
have to put it back in the oven.
11:35
- No, don't burn yourself.
11:37
- Oh, listen, honey, I keep, do you know I had to,
11:39
for the restaurant, I had to go get
11:42
a liquor license. - Un-huh.
11:44
- Oh my gosh. - Oh, that looks good.
11:45
- That looks so good.
11:46
But these just don't, they don't cut good warm.
11:50
I'm not gonna put it back in the oven,
11:52
I think that's good. - Okay.
11:54
- Yeah, after it cools,
11:56
you're just not supposed to cut these.
11:58
- I love it when it's raw.
12:01
- Well, when, when this cools off,
12:03
that'll set back up. - Okay.
12:05
(server banging on pan) - Let's just say
12:07
it was (indistinct). - I just never
12:08
cut one that quick straight outta the oven.
12:10
All right, so we got
12:11
our pecan sauce. - Okay.
12:15
- And I'm not gonna do
12:16
three plates of this. - Okay.
12:18
- I'm gonna let it cool. - Okay.
12:20
- But I'm gonna give us...
12:23
- [Logan] Drizzle.
12:25
- Three forks.
12:27
Grab you a fork, honey. - Okay.
12:28
- That looks good.
12:29
- Let's see who gets it to their pie hole first.
12:33
(indistinct) - Wait, wait, it's hot, Logan!
12:37
- It is hot, um. - Um, it tastes like
12:40
the pralines we ate this morning.
12:43
- It's so good. - Isn't that, I just...
12:44
- Oh.
12:47
- Mmm. - Mmm.
12:49
- This may be the best thing I've ever ate.
12:51
(Paula laughing)
12:52
- I'm gonna lick the whole top
12:53
so y'all can't have any. - Oh, you're so mean.
12:56
This is so good. - Mmm.
12:59
- Oh.
13:00
- And like I said, after it cools,
13:02
it's gonna set up perfectly. - I'm gonna gain
13:03
all that weight back.
13:04
- Can you put this in a Ziploc bag
13:06
so I can take it back with me?
13:08
- I was gonna say, I can't cut that
13:10
and send that back to ya,
13:12
not the way it's running,
13:14
but you know what, I can spoon it up in something.
13:18
- Like a smoothie? (all laughing)
13:22
- Mmm. (indistinct)
13:24
- I like a smoothie too.
13:27
Isn't this delicious? - It is, yeah.
13:30
It's always a dream of mine
13:31
to eat this on a plate with you like this.
13:33
(both laughing) - Well honey,
13:35
your dreams have
13:36
come true then. - I just can't believe
13:38
I'm eating with Paula Deen.
13:41
This is my bucket list, Paula.
13:44
I manifested, well, I prayed this.
13:47
I love Ms. Paula.
13:50
- And I love, Logan.
13:53
- Logan's the best.
13:54
- Yes. - No.
13:56
- All right, I'll clean up
13:57
that little edge. - You just gotta
13:58
come to the Ozarks. (plate clunking on counter)
14:00
- You need to make a plan- - And y'all get
14:01
to fight over that one. - Oh my gosh.
14:03
- Oh, no fighting (laughing).
14:09
- All right, y'all didn't do a good job
14:10
of cleaning that plate. - I know,
14:11
we gotta clean the plates.
14:14
- The leftovers. - So good.
14:15
- Um. - Oh.
14:16
- Oh. - So I'm gonna let that cool,
14:17
I know that y'all have to go. - Yes.
14:19
- But I am gonna go ahead and put something
14:22
in a container. - Oh, I wish you would.
14:23
- Oh, thank you. - But just remember,
14:25
y'all have to eat it with a spoon.
14:27
Now I cooked this one for,
14:31
40 minutes. - Okay.
14:34
- And it would've been better
14:36
if I'd left it 45 minutes. - 45.
14:39
- Five more minutes. - Okay.
14:40
- Yes. - Oh, but that's good.
14:42
- But like I said, once this cools,
14:44
it's gonna be great.
14:46
- Well, it was great hot. - Look at that.
14:48
- I'm gonna go home and make this (laughing).
14:52
- Yes, and serve your family.
14:54
- And he's gonna make me video it
14:55
while he's doing it, (indistinct).
14:57
(all laughing)
14:59
- Well, we gotta get
15:00
a picture of us. - Yeah, we do.
15:01
- Yes we do.
15:05
- [Ed] You gotta
15:06
wrap it up first. - Oh.
15:06
- You gotta say goodbye. - Oh, right.
15:10
- That looks good. - Oh, it does.
15:12
- That looks so good. - Yes.
15:13
- So I'm gonna dip y'all
15:15
up some. - Okay.
15:16
- That pecan sauce
15:17
is delicious. - It really is.
15:18
- That takes it over the top. - We love Miss Paula.
15:21
- And I love Mr. Logan. (both smooching)
15:24
