Toffee Gooey Buttercake

Now y'all have seen me make gooey butter cakes several times on the show

I think out of all the gooey butter cakes, just the basic recipe may very well be my favorite

And then I'm adding chocolate toffee bits. And you can find these in your baking section

These are just yummy. So I'm going to start with the base to our gooey butter cake

I've got a stick of butter melted here. I've got a yellow cake mix here

I'm going to add one egg and one stick of melted butter

Now while I'm mixing up this, I'm going to go ahead and add another stick of butter

So that's going to melt and we're going to mix this up. And this batter is going to be real, real thick

All right I got our crust and one egg and one stick of melted butter blended together here But because I cooking outside and using my little mini oven a 13 by 9 by 2 wouldn fit in this oven So I doing it in two 8 by 8 pans

All I'm going to do is divide our batter up, half in one pan and half in the other. And

we're just going to press this into our pan. Now we're going to come over here and we're

gonna make the fill into our gooey butter cake. And I'm gonna use the same

bowl. I don't have to wash it. It's not gonna affect the center of our our gooey

I'm gonna start with an 8 ounce package of cream cheese that's been softened to

room temperature. I'm gonna add two eggs, a teaspoon of vanilla

another stick of melted butter, I'm gonna get every drop out, and one 16-ounce box of powdered sugar

Now we just gonna beat this up until it smooth All right

And now we're going to add our toffee bits to this. And I'm just going to fold those in

Now you can get toffee bits two ways. You can get the plain toffee bits, or you can get toffee bits with chocolate. Now I'm going to divide this center into both of these pans

and I'm just spreading this out. All right. Now, I like a little sprinkled on top. So when it bakes

you can see that it not just a regular gooey butter cake So I going to take a few and just put on top like that Now I gonna put these in the oven It been preheated to 350 degrees

And because of the sizes of these pans, I'm gonna just watch that

I'm gonna keep checking on them periodically after like 30 minutes. Our gooey butter cakes turned out really, really good

It's amazing how well these little ovens will bake. These gooey butter cakes look delicious too

Sometimes I'll use these to put in the center of a baked Alaska

Ooh, I'm going to try to resist tasting it and just keep those piled up there

I think the cook has earned the right to taste a gooey butter cake

So let's see how they turned out. They look yummy. You can see the toffee nut and the chocolate in the gooey part of that. Mmm

It's unbelievably rich
