Oh my goodness! You are the MAN!!! I’ve looked for this recipe for probably 30 years…my husband worked in a local bakery as a kid and he made it. Unfortunately by the time we were married the owner of the bakery passed away, bakery long closed and no one had ever written down the recipe. I made so many variations of what I thought might be this cake but none were IT. RFamiky, friends bakers, etc gave me recipes from an Italian cake that actually reverses layers to simple cream chees based cakes to Paula Deen and many other Southern chefs & bakers. I even contacted the Food Network in their early years asking that someone demonstrate on one of the shows. Finally some 30 years later I found a recipe done by a young girl from St Louis. I watched her video many times before I attempted it myself. When I presented this version to my husband you might’ve though I’d handed him the power all numbers. It was a hit and he smiled and said “yes” this is the cake! Thank you so much for sharing. It’s the it great how a recipe can mean so much, bring back nostalgic memories and warm the heart. Such ❤️ 🤗
Beautiful !! This is the way I learned this recipe about 35 years ago… The cake mix method is alright but once y’all have this y’all will never go back to that mix!
We make this in the South as well and yes...every recipe is different! But since I stopped using box cake a few years ago, I haven't made the recipe so I'm excited for this. (Ps. Gooey Cake freezes really well too. So don't hurt yourself when you make it and gain 20 lbs, just cut into one serving sizes, wrap in wax paper, then foil.)
I haven’t had one bad recipe yet, and that, my friend, is a complement!!! I had done at least 10 recipes and we love them all, so much, I tell my family, “this recipe is from the smash burger guy”!! Thank you for your very informational videos, I have learned soo much!! Have a blessed day!!
I’ve made several versions of this cake and none of them are bad. I haven’t made this one with the yeast dough. I’ll give it a try. I’m sure it’s very good.
I’m sure your is good! I prefer using some type of flavor in the crust, not plain, even if making homemade. Also cream cheese is a must for me. Also making different versions of the filling.
OMG!!!! Yes please. Billy I have two questions 1. I’m not a baker but really want to learn Why don’t you mix the two eggs before you put them into the blender? 2. How’s your garden doing? Again I appreciate you 👍🏻
It’s easier to incorporate something fluid into something solid if you do it a bit at a time and then eggs will be better combined with the sugar and butter. There isn’t any harm in combining your eggs together and then beating half in and then the other half. You just don’t want to dump them all in at once. I suspect that the reason we “add one egg at a time” in most recipes has mostly to do with clarity of instructions. It’s just easier and clearer.
Chef, if you ever go to Phila. Pa. try the butter cake there too. I live in a suburb of Philly and I can't get enough of the butter cake. Can't wait to make your version. Thank you for posting such delicious recipes. You are greatly appreciated.
@@joanns.6380 It was called eiselins bakery. May not be the exact spelling lol. It was in roxborough section of Philadelphia. Omg sooo good the butter was just melting off the top. I actually like it better in the fridge for a little bit 😁
@@johnmcginn7102 Not familiar with that one, but there are quite a few bakeries that have good philly butter cake. I like mine either room temp or cold too.
I'm wondering since my oven is broke if this could be baked in an air fryer or on the stove top. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Chef I love your recipes,but I had to stop watching you for awhile. I started on strict keto for my health and it is successful but I would do dirty keto if you did recipes that are low carb. I miss watching you 😞

I like your videos. They get to the point and don’t drag out the content

That’s awesome. Thank you very much for the support
just made this and it is the bomb! thanks again Chef! Can't wait for what's next.
Just seeing a STL recipe on here made my day.... this weekend, I will make this!
First place I ever had this was at Adriana’s on the hill in St. Louis. Brings back fantastic memories. Thank you for sharing that with everyone
Glad to see that you are doing some desserts . I don't eat a lot . But i make a lot for others who do. Mostly the diabetics lol 😅
Hi Chef Billy!! I've never seen a gooey butter cake made with a yeast dough, but it sure looks good! Tyfs. 👍👍
Yeast is used in the original recipes.
I’ve made several versions of this cake and none of them are bad. I haven’t made this one with the yeast dough. I’ll give it a try. I’m sure it’s very good.
Thank you for this recipe and it looks delicious 😋 🥰🥰🥰💝❤💯

@@amandahodgin9316 that makes sense. Thank you so much for replying
God bless
@@kristybarker8269 Just like oil and vinegar don’t blend well neither do eggs and fat so to have a better consistency one at a time is best.
This channel is a gem and the production is so high quality. Surprised you don’t have more subscribers but hopefully more people will discover you!
Appreciate that!
Oh man, that looks good! Going on my list to make.
Omg it looks so good
I’ve never heard or seen this cake before. It’s so different, but it looks amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼🤤
Just found your channel on Facebook. I'm hooked...new subscriber!
OMG!! This looks awesome 🤩

Grew up in Philadelphia. There was a German bakery near me that made the best butter cake omg. My mouth is watering lol
@@johnmcginn7102 Which bakery is that?

Wow, wow gonna try and make this! Do you also have a good recipe of some Southern Ice Tea?
I only heard about these cakes from Paula Deen!!!🎉
I'm wondering since my oven is broke if this could be baked in an air fryer or on the stove top. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
The video says 2 sticks of butter for the filling but the description box says 1.5 sticks. Which is it? Thanks
Oh wow. Is there a place to print the recipe? Thank you!
Looks delicious. Go Mizzou!
You had me at gooey
a year later we still dont know if its 2 or 1 1/2 sticks of butter in the filling but at least we know his hands were clean when he spread the dough
Can you use evaporated milk?
Wow!
Wow, I didn't know you had connections to Missouri. I'm in KCMO. Are you somehow related to the Parisi coffee chain?
I’m not, but definitely familiar with it.
I like that there's extra goo 😁
I liked your video as soon as I saw the yeast. The original recipe uses a yeast dough. Authentic gooey butter cake also doesn't have cream cheese.
you should do a barbacoa taco recipe
I want to, but I can’t help myself and I’ll want to do it the right way and dig a pit in my backyard.
What is the cook time if you use 9 inch circle pans?
I’d love to make this but was wondering if I could use almond flour. I’m off wheat.
Your written recipe says for filling, 1 1/2 sticks if butter, but in the video you put in 2 sticks of butter, will this make a difference?
That kitchen aid mixer is $300. I suppose that’s the game if you wanna play with big dogs
What a way to celebrate 3-14!
To make it a strawberry version, how much would need to be added?
Without testing myself, I’m not sure.
Ok, thank you
Noone ever shows how much jiggle there is supposed to be. They just keep saying there should be some jiggle in the center.
It’s something that is actually really hard to show on camera
ZOU!
KU...Boo and hiss! 🐅
What can we use TO REPLACE THE CORN SYRUP? Corn Syrup is A BANNED FOOD IN EUROPE
