Gooey butter cake is like crack for my fiance!!! She absolutely loves it! I've been making it for a while now and I like to make little changes..... I tried adding some butterscotch chips along with the toffee and it was a big hit!! Thanks for the great recipe Paula!

Paula, I just LOVE your show AND your recipes. In fact, I've created my own recipe box that's just full of ALL your recipes. Of course I've saved EVERYTHING FRIED; AND, I've saved ALL your desserts (especially the ones that contain berries. Thanks so much for your show and cooking ideas. Dawn Ellen

I don't know what to do! There apparently is more butter. The filling says to cream the cream cheese, eggs, butter and vanilla.......later on it tells you to add the melted butter slowly......apparently there was more butter than listed on the ingredients. I added the melted butter already! Ugh! Hope it doesn't matter the order and I am guess a stick of butter?

Awesome!!!!! This was very easy to make and it came out perfect. Nice and moist and the middle oh so go gooey. I baked it @ 300 for about 1 hr 10 min instead of 350 40-50 min. This was a wonderful treat for my family. I will make this again

In one word...yummy!!!!! Paula makes me laugh!!

I made these for a family function and they turned out relatively well, and were pretty good. They weren't "like crack" like some of the other reviews insinuated, and I don't know if I would make them again. I did appreciate how moist and flavorful they were, but they were extraordinary like some of the other recipes Paula has like her heavenly red velvet.

Thank you Ashley. This recipe has been updated.

Any one else notice that for the filling, it lists a stick of butter, but down in the directions, it doesn't tell you when to add it? I just about forgot to add it because I was reading as I went. Might want to update the recipe. Thanks, Ashley

i have just seen gooey butter cake on TV here in the UK. it looks fantastic but every recipe i have found uses a cake mix. I am guessing that this is a packet cake mix. I never use this short cut as i prefer to bake my own. is i were to make this what texture should the cake be - is it a pastry texture or a sponge mixture. also how much does a stick of butter weigh. we have butter pats which are 8ounces 200gms

My sister-in-law was watching a little 4 year old girl the other day and she was letting her play cook with condiments in the refrigerater. She ask the little girl how she learned to cook and she said "Susie, I watch Paula Dean every day" So cute

Dear Paula, My husband asked me to email you to tell you that since we have started watching Foodnetwork & especially your shows, he is getting alot more "goodies" that I am trying out from your recipes. Thank you so much, I am "addicted" to your Party shows!!Would we be able to buy your recipe books anywhere & also your Kiddies recipes in South Africa? I would love to get my grandchildren involved in the kitchen with your recipes! You are an absolute inspiration to us all & just love you to bits!! A true & committed fan!

You and Bobby made the gooey butter cake a few weeks back on your show. I taped the show to make sure I got the recipe right. You said to bake it 30 to 40 min. and do not over bake. I made it for Easter. After 40 min. I took it out and the center was still a bit giggily! And now I see itr says here 40 to 50 min. I will bake it a bit longer next time. FYI....I have your red and black speckeled square non-stick skillet and love it. Does it have a lid? Also, the round metal measuring cups you use on your show....do you cell those???? A true fan April 24, 11

My son's elementary school was having a bake-off contest. No one would volunteer to bake anything so I finally agreed to bake something and had heard rave reviews of Paula's Gooey Butter Cakes (but never tasted one). This cake isn't that much to look at and really didn't measure up against the other "pretty" cakes. To my surprise I won first place. I guess looks don't always matter. Everyone raved about how good the Toffee cake tasted. Thanks Paula. My son's class thinks I am the bomb!
