    I'm from St. Louis, gooey butter cake is one of the things I miss most about home! I always have to get some when I visit. Soooooo good!!! Also, you should generously sprinkle the top with powdered sugar right after taking it out of the oven.
    Now just make toasted ravioli and St. Louis sticky BBQ pork steaks 😋

    • @DanDwyer64
      @DanDwyer64 3 роки тому +37

      St Louis is my hometown also and the cake mix version just isn't the same. And yes to dusting with powdered sugar right as it comes out of the oven. As for toasted raviloli...buy a good frozen ravioli (beef filling only), let them thaw then toss lightly in flour, egg wash and then Italian style bread crumbs. Fry about 1 inch oil, such as vegetable or peanut, turn as needed until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve with a good marinara sauce. (NOT Ragu or Prego, etc.)

      A good turkish delight has a tender gummy/jello texture, with an outer layer of powdered sugar. The rose flavour is floral with a hint of fruityness, and it’s very sweet. I suspect it was so alluring to the children in the movie because British children of the time were so sugar-deprived.

It will be very pale in color, it will still be crackly on top and the edges will be crunchy, but will result in a more ooey gooey cake!! Also, try letting it chill in the firings for a day or two. The flavors are enhanced that way! Serve chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar and it’s incredible! Almost the texture of lemon bars!! Let me know if you try it!!

    Emmi, HIIII ☺️ it’s 5am here in Saint Louis and I saw this video in my subscriptions and I decided it was a sign that I should reach out to you. I’ve been watching your videos since I was a child. I was in love with pippin cookin and I loved your cute spunky personality. As a child I felt comfortable watching you even though UA-cam is not the most kid friendly place and was even less so 8 years ago. You have a way of making your viewers feel special. I didn’t have many friends when I was younger. I went to a small school and I just didn’t fit in. I was never bullied but the other kids just avoided me. I took comfort in your videos. I watched the first poppin cookin sushi video you made more times than I can count. I feel like I know you though I know I don’t. I watched you move your life across the world, become a mother, and turn your hobby into a career. I’m so glad that you are still making videos. I am a high school class of 2020 kid. No prom, no graduation, and no college except for the classes I’m taking online. I’m lonely, as many people are right now. Your videos give me comfort. I’m glad you enjoyed the gooey butter cake. I’ve lived in Saint Louis my whole life and I honestly have to say that I prefer gooey butter cookies (gotta get them from schnucks. I can send you some!😊). Two more fun things about Saint Louis: Panera was started here so we call it Saint Louis bread company (bread co for short) and when we go to bread co we like to get our bagels bread sliced so we have a bunch of thin bagel slices to spread with cream cheese 🥯

    I just took this out of the oven and I'm so excited, it looks just like yours!! I followed your recipe that was printed and you left out the vanilla extract part but I remembered at the last minute!
    I added 3 cups of powdered sugar instead of 3.5 (which the internet says is the equivalent to a pound) and when I made my "dough" it was a bit more wet than yours, but it firmed up a bit the more I mixed it so maybe I didn't mix it enough?

    I'm from St. Louis, MO. When I was a little kid over 60 years ago my dad would go to the bakery every Sunday and bring home a peanut coffee cake and a gooey butter cake. Mom would cut me a piece and it would ooze off the cake part and all over the plate. Yum! I have never found one like that in a store bought or homemade one. Makes me want to be a kid again. What could you add to that recipe that would make it even gooeyer? (Is that even a word) 😂🤣

      Martha Stewart has a recipe that has a oozy top layer (according to the picture). I haven’t made/eaten her version, only saw the recipe online. It’s totally different. Has the yeasted cake bottom layer and the top layer is totally different ingredients. Looks wise it’s pretty much the same though. I wonder if that’s the old fashioned version you ate as a kid?

    I’ve lived in St. Louis my whole life, and never seen a gooey butter cake that looks quite like yours. It’s usually made in a 8x8 or 9x9, not nearly as dark, usually more of a yellowish color, and ALWAYS has powdered sugar dusted on top. I’m curious how “authentic” yours actually tasted. It’d be interesting if you ordered one from somewhere in St. Louis and compared the two.

      I agree mine is more yellow. I also use 8x8 pan. I think the pan size makes the cake more gooey n taste much better. The bigger the pan the less gooey the topping. N it’s all about the topping with this recipe. I to am from St Louis. My mom would stop at a bakery every Saturday morning n bring one home. N using the 8x8 pan makes all the difference with this recipe.
