Simply amazing! This is the first time I had made butter cake and it was a huge hit with my husband and friends. Although you may get diabetes from eating it, I can eat this stuff all throughout the day. My friends asked me to share this recipe and my husband wants me to make it again. Thanks!

My first time having Gooey Butter Cake. I can’t believe anyone would call this breakfast! it’s *sickly* sweet – doughnuts have nothing on this cake! Doubtful I’d make this again – and I have a sweet tooth!

I love St Louis Gooey Butter cake and this recipe is very good. It is too sweet for breakfast for me, but I love it as dessert!

I’m eating a square of this right now, for breakfast. It is sweet, but it’s very yummy. quick to make, and inexpensive too!

Oh how easy and delicious is this cake! It is super sweet but that didn’t stop my husband from eating two pieces last night and another two pieces for breakfast this morning! My son said it’s the best cake ever!

Wow! I’ve never had anything like this! So super yummy and sweet. Easy to make and I agree that it needs to be cold. I can’t believe people eat this for breakfast, but I’m not complaining!

we loved this! I made this as a birthday dessert, for my husband who doesn’t like traditional birthday cakes. It got raves from the whole extended family. Definitely a keeper!

WOW!!! Not only one of the easiest cakes I’ve ever made…I can’t keep myself out of it. I’m not normally a cake, pie type girl. This I had two servings last night and a giant piece for breakfast. Thanks for sharing!

My family hated this. Everyone had a few bites and the rest went into the trash. It is toothachingly sweet, literally, it just sticks to your teeth! Too much fat and sugar. Sorry…

I always use the butter cake mix for my gooey butter cake. You’re right. It’s great any time of the day! It’s also better after storing in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

Gooey Butter Cake and the Arch are the two things I miss most about St Louis! Thanks, I’ll be trying this real soon!!

May Iplease ask what FLUID cream cheese is?
cookbooked on 1.20.2011
Me too, jayw. Many recipes will say ‘weight’ after the amount is listed also. I’ve never seen that either, though I think it means ‘as in measured on a scale’. Could someone clarify both ‘weight’ and ‘fluid’? Thanks.

Measurements shown in ounces will either be a “fluid” oz of water, milk, etc., or will weigh an ounce, like 15 oz “weight” chocolate, cream cheese, butter, etc.

I made this cake for work and everyone loved it! It was so delicious. It is definitely not a healthy breakfast, but the calories and fat were so worth it. Also a very very very easy dessert to make.

This is so good! It turned out more like a bar than cake though. Still super yummy though.

I must have done something wrong here, because mine didn’t set up in the middle. It was way too gooey! Or maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be? I’ve never had it before. I loved the flavor though – ate around the outside of the pan!

I don’t think I can leave a rating since I didn’t keep strictly to the recipe, but I wanted to say this is a DELICIOUS dessert. I used only 6 T. butter in the crust and 2 T. in the top (because I only had one stick of butter in the fridge), and then used 1 c. sugar in the top instead of powdered sugar. This is freaking wonderful with a French vanilla cake mix. Thanks so much and I’ll definitely be making this again.
