I must admit that have a weakness for Gooey Butter Cake. The obsession began at my 4th grade bake sale when I purchased (and ate) way too many pieces of the ooey, gooey, deliciousness that the student next to me was selling. I could not get enough. No regrets. And surprisingly, no cavities.<\/p>\n

What is this mysterious Gooey Butter Cake?<\/h2>\n

Like the Arch and Toasted Ravioli, it\u2019s a St. Louis thing, so you may not have had the privilege of tasting this treat. Essentially it\u2019s a modified vanilla cake on the bottom with a delectable sweet cream cheese mixture on top. <\/p>\n

Baked together, bottom layer gets deliciously caramelized and chewy, while the top layer remains creamy and dreamy. There\u2019s a place in town that sells only gooey butter cakes, so they have quite a local following!<\/p>\n

\"vanilla,\"vanilla,
Perfect for brunch, dessert, or birthday celebrations, this Gooey Butter Cake Recipe uses simple, everyday ingredients to make something irressistible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n

Nothing fancy needed. You just need basic baking ingredients like butter, sugar, powdered sugar, salt, baking powder, GF flour, vanilla, eggs, and cream cheese.<\/p>\n

Why not buy a cake mix?<\/h3>\n

Most Gooey Butter Cake Recipes start with a packaged yellow cake mix, but in this recipe, we make our own cake base. Yes, you can certainly use a packaged box of GF yellow cake mix, but why spend $7 when you can toss together your own for much less without any added dishes?<\/p>\n

Are all Gooey Butter Cake Recipes Gluten Free?<\/h3>\n

No, most gooey butter cakes are made with wheat, so they are not gluten free. I\u2019ve adapted his recipe by substituting gluten free flour, and modifying the amounts of other ingredients. <\/p>\n

Recipe Variations<\/h3>\n

You can adapt this basic recipe for all kinds of flavors, but here are some classics:<\/p>\n
