I’ve made this about a dozen times since I found this recipe a few years ago, and I just realized I never rated it! It is super sweet, but I love it!

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.

The cake is great, but if I could make a suggestion about the way the recipe is written. The first time I made this it wasn’t clear to me how much powdered sugar goes into the filling. I assume only 3 cups goes into the filling and 3/4 a cup is used for the topping. The recipe doesn’t make this clear. Maybe you could fix the recipe for other users. Other than that, great recipe!

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!

This is the first recipe I tried out on this website. You can serve me anything with butter, sugar and cream cheese in I guess (-;

Very simple ingredients, I might spent 4 Dollar ont he cake but just becuase I had to buy new Vanilla extract.

Description was easy to understand and the cake turned out wonderful.

Next time I might cut down a bit on the sugar part.

I’m a St. Louisan, and I have to say this was the sweeeetest gooey butter cake I’ve ever tasted. I would cut back on the sugar for next time. Consistency was perfect, though!

OK so I couln’t wait until tomorrow morning to post! This is the best cake I have ever had! I pressed the crust down into the pan and it made it nice and chewy. My boyfriend who isn’t a sweets person has been sneaking bites, like FIVE :-0 I can’t wait to bring this to a function, they are going to think I went to school for this stuff! HAHA, now he has some on his plate and is telling me to quit eating the crust

I’ve always wanted to make a butter cake, just never got around to it, so this was an easy enough recipe to try. Clear directions, came together exactly as stated. However, this is just too sweet for us. Has nothing to do with this particular recipe, I looked at a dozen of them, and they’re all relatively similar, it just so happens this is the recipe I tried, so this is where I’m leaving my review. We did each have a sliver, and it was good, in that tiny amount, but I wont be making this again, too sweet for us.
