Quarantine Cooking - Gooey Butter Cake

[@sarahjonorman5628]

I am glad I found these episodes. I have no family, and I love feeling as if I have been invited in to her kitchen and her life. Paula is the best!

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

One of the things I love most about watching you is that you do not waste food. You scrape the rest of the bowl and show us this. It seems like a southern thing but I’m sure it is not. It’s more of a respect for food and the expense. Either way, having both grandmothers struggle with going hungry sometimes, I respect and love the hell out of it.

[@michellesmith7060]

One of the things I love about your show is that everything from the mixer to the stuff you are making everything is easy to understand and you never use fancy equipment and things I can't even say no less eat.... I love hearing you laughing in the kitchen again I am glad you decided to start making KZbin cooking shows I think I'm going to bring your peach cobbler to my grandmother birthday party today...

[@jodylynnbruch397]

Mrs Paula, I'm Alabama girl living in Oregon. I'm stuck in this Vegan Noghtmare here. Thank Heavens we now have a Cracker Barrel and a Chick-fa-la (I've only waited 26 years). I cant begin to tell you how much I absolutely love watching you during this stressful time. Every recipe I've made of yours my family just loves. Our youngest son is 18 and is graduating this year. Unfortunately they have decided not to have a graduation ceremony like normal. So we will have to make our own memories. Adam doesnt like frosting on cakes, so I think I will make him your gooy butter cake to hit the spot. Thanks for all you do! Tonya Case, Portland, Oregon (originally from North Alabama).

[@karencates5007]

I'm a Georgia girl over here in central OR and today I'm celebrating my 63rd bday. Family is still quarantining here. I might try and make this from a scratch (homemade) cake. Congrats to your son! Our grandson is graduating from high school here. They will be doing separate groups of up to 6 people for each graduate so they can walk across the stage to get their diploma. Looking forward to it. Stay safe!

[@sweeney60]

I’m in Oregon too. I was born and raised here but my mom is from North Carolina so she raised me on a lot of southern recipes.

[@sandragans8625]

@Tonya lol I totally understand, I am a Louisiana girl now living in Olympia, Washington. I like some vegan food and health food but I also love good southern food! And this gooey butter cake is definitely on my list to cook very soon! My cousin used to cook this all the time and it was amazing!! Congrats to your son and your family on his graduation! I hope that you guys find a beautiful and safe way to celebrate. Stay safe and blessed💞😊🙏🏾

[@jennifers1123]

I’m from Alabama, too, and this is one of the best cakes you can ever have. It’s super easy, and versatile. Congratulations to your son on graduating. My oldest daughter is finishing up her senior year at home, so everything is going to be super low key here.

Its crazy how the media made Paula out to be a monster and convinced a lot of black folk she's racist. This woman has a true heart of gold. Having a plantation themed wedding is not a huge deal... that's like saying Shakespeare should never be played. Any historical ideation would be considered racist if that were the case.

I found this recipe years ago and make it anytime we have a dinner guest I’m trying to impress.

I use so many of your amazing recipes to introduce non-southerners to the glory of southern cooking.

[@dianebullis7226]

Hello Paula, I watched your show for years, until it was taken off the air. We had what I thought would be a pleasure to visit "The Lady and Son's." I was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to taste the fried chicken and the sides. As we ordered, we were told that the serving sizes would be enough for my husband and I, and therefore, not to order a different item off the menu. My husband requested white meat, and I, dark, along with Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, cucumber salad. When our food arrived, there was one wing, a thigh and drumstick. Well, the Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes was a serving for one, and did not have a creamy texture. The cucumber salad was delicious! The waiter had put the blame on the cook for the portion size. I waited years to eat at the "Lady and Son's." I was so disappointed that my heart broke. This may sound silly, but I put you on a pedestal as one of the greatest cook's. Paula, I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. We left with great disappointed. 😞 I couldn't wait to buy one of your cook books, but was gravely disappointed with the food and the service, that it left a sour taste in my heart. I loved the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake! I hoped my experience would have been better.

[@nikkibiggers156]

I made this recipe for the first time years ago when I saw you make it on your show. My favorite is the peanut butter and chocolate. Oh my heavens! We have had the regular, pumpkin, and I made one for my brother that was strawberry cake on the bottom with the regular filling on top, but now that you told us about the bananas. GAME CHANGER!!! That would be so good!!! Thank you for all you do!!!

My Mother recently passed away and this was a family favorite and she would take to her job at Chrysler Motor Corporation in Indiana when they would have potluck at her job, and she would never have a bite left because everyone would eat it all up.

[@lsf1953]

My good friend's mother made these but she never used Gooey or Cake in the title. She took them a next step or two by using lemon juice or almond extract X 2 in lieu of vanilla with slivered almonds on top. She called them Lemon Bars or Almond Bars. Jane often served these at teas or bridal showers. She was a true Southern Belle without Gooey in her vocabulary. She also pushed the dough base up the side of the pan about 1/2" so that the cream cheese mixture stayed within the bar base. She always worked at recipes until she got them perfect in her eyes. A wonderful cook, a wonderful woman, Jane Lutkus.

Haven't had this, but oddly & very similar ingredients/different form, have been making a super easy cookie recipe I found in a cookbook prob. 15 yrs ago. Can be made w/ any variety + any mix-in's, but SO easy & surpisingly good: remembering 1, 1, 1, 1, & done. :) My son's fav version (prob 'cuz unique not found in stores/cookies usually AND that they reminded him (in his words anyway) of... strawberry Quik.. w/ a kick (lol) was... 1 stick butter + 1 brick (full fat/philly) cream cheese both softened slightly, creamed in bowl... Add in 1 lg/xl EGG & combine.. (can add vanilla or almond extract, or none) then... 1 box fav moist STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX. Stir in couple hand fulls of white chocolate (or milk choc?) discs if you can find them. Chips, otherwise. Put bowl in fridge for 10 min or so just to stiffen. Super sticky/hard to handle otherwise. Using cookie scoop, drop onto paper plate or shallow bowl w/ some powdered sugar & roll to cover dough ball. Place on cookie sheet & bake in 375 degree F pre-heated oven for 10-11 min, depending.. Let cool slightly on pan or rack, then store. NOM NOM SOOOO good. Have made pineapple cake w/ cherry chips + a few pineapple tidbits... Chocolate fudge cake + hersheys chips or milk choc discs (omg, if u can find 'em the disc shape makes such a difference. Like getting litte pools of chocolate, YUM) or.. heath chips... Rolled in the powdered sugar before baking.. they come out looking like chocolate cookies w/ this white crackle on top! Carrot cake w/ white choc chips + walnuts chopped finely.. Banana cake + extra banana + just couple choc chips + walnuts.. Any combo, so good. Similar ingred to above gooey cake, just different amts & form. All, so easy & so great tho. Everyone will ask for recipe... I mean, esp if you show up w/ some bright pink cookies (or cake) that tastes THAT good. ENJOY.. Stay safe & well.

She probably doesn’t, I probably wouldn’t if I was her. So many nasty things are said

[@stevejohnson7436]

@@jak30341 I agree, there are people here that just like writing unnecessary comments. If you don't like someone just keep on moving. Yet trolls love going on people channel that they dislike just to give a negative comment.

[@angelinasuazo5705]

@@jak30341 I don't know who you, or the rest of the commenters on this line are referring to, but I honestly was curious, about my questions to Paula, in my comment. I would have asked the same exact thing, if I were sitting beside her, talking as a friend. She did wear the same bright yellow tunic, in several of her videos, and Lord knows, that Paula can afford a big wardrobe, so I just thought that maybe she mighy have a fondness for that particular shirt. My daughter loves yellow too, especially canary yellow, like what color Paula was wearing. And the part about me asking if she ever read the comments, or answered back to any of them; well, that's not an unreasonable question, because when I looked down all of her comments, there wasn't any of them that were answered, or highlighted, or personally liked, by Paula, like other vloggers do, so that's why I was curious about that too. I have a dear sweet lady that I watch on KZbin, and she's in her early '80's, and she loves all of her subscribers, and she reads every comment, and responds to every comment!! Literally. So I don't really think it's unusual, or out of line, the simple easy questions that I had. Just saying.

[@stevejohnson7436]

Angelina I'm not Clinched but you wrote you were wondering if Paula ever read or answer to any of the comments. Clinched said probably not because there are nasty things said. I agreed with Clinched because there are nasty comments referring to Paula on her videos. I was not referring to you that you were negative or being nasty or rude I was referring to trolls that come an write unnecessary comments to Paula. That is why we don't see her responding to comments on the comment section. Paula does say she reads letters and personal Dm she gets and emails.

[@PhoenixBaby96]

@@angelinasuazo5705 Paula Deen made it big, had her own TV show on the Food Network. So I'd guess that the likelihood that she'd respond to any of the comments on here is the same as the likelihood that any other Food Network star would respond.

[@kelseybetancourt3957]

This was so special, made me feel like I was in my Granny's kitchen. Her laugh and love is infectious.

[@kristenjohnson5409]

I made this a couple days ago! Hmmm yummy! Love you Paula!

[@nunya321]

This is a shame sista...

[@kristenjohnson5409]

@@nunya321 what's a shame is that you took the time to reply to comment that has nothing to do with you.

Might make this, but I’m trying to lose weight.

[@keaishijohnson4657]

Mrs/Ms Johnson just wondering if you were aware of why this woman you say you love, cooking show was removed from television? Well yur beloved Paula is an avid racist. I employor you to please look up the fact that she wanted to bring back the old Dixie days aka the days when we were Lynched, and serving her in the ol slave ways. It's heartbreaking to you have such admiration for a woman who supports them ole Dixie days. Like Florida Evans said dam,dam,dammmm.

[@josiegirl1167]

About 30 yrs ago I got them from a bakery. You could take a spoon and hit that top and crack it. Under that hard top was a goo that would run out of that sides, with cake underneath. I feel like if I had to guess it was sweet and condensed milk poured over the top. No one can recreate it. We would get them still warm. OMG pure heaven.

[@jc1728]

Paula, I watch you so much I dreamed my mom and I visited you. ❤

[@ThekimG313]

Watching this in June. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I’m so glad you’re on KZbin! I’ve learned so much about cooking from you,my mother & grandmother’s techniques from the southern cooking styles . I treasure the education I can pass down through my family!

[@DianaTx361]

I want to make this for Memorial Day weekend! Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

It’s nice to see a chef who actually gets everything out of the ingredient bowl.

[@madhatter2863]

Can you show us how to make lemon bars 😋

[@lorifalwell197]

I love these quarantine cooking classes, it's so good to see you in everyday life, in your home with your family, it's a nice personal touch🥰

[@GrammyBeth]

Good to see you cooking, I’m so enjoying this series of videos‼️. I was in Branson Mo last weekend. Went into the gift shop of the restaurant and I bought the salt box, butter bell and the square iron skillet. Great quality and the employees were great‼️. Friendly and helpful. I’ll go back and eat in the restaurant when I can take my girlfriend with me. Thanks for all you do and be safe ❤️

[@ramonaearnest4709]

Going to Branson soon my daughter in law's parents just bought a house there we'll be going to your restaurant down there...We have been to the one you own in Savannah. I'm from Missouri and Gooey butter cake is a local dish here along with Imos Pizza and toasted ravioli and Ted drewes ice cream! I'm so surprised to see you make Gooey butter cake because most people have never heard of it....we thought only St. Louis people ate it!! 😂 It's know to be a very rich cake!

[@GrammyBeth]

Ramona Earnest I used to eat Gooey Butter Cakes‼️. My husband worked for Schnucks before he retired

[@likeablisterinthesun]

I make the pumpkin version of this every Thanksgiving. My family is very thankful for your recipes!

[@Camelove21]

Hi Paula, I’m from St Louis Missouri the home of gooey butter cake👏love you and your vids💜

[@maryloufrisch54]

There’s another butter cake that the German’s brought to Philadelphia. That has a yeast base cake but that butter part is just so luscious. Unique on its own.

[@autriaa1066]

Can I just say I love Paula Deen. Her pumpkin pie recipe is the best and if you watch her videos now she tells you the ingredients needed right when your about to ask yourself how much do you need? I love how professional yet carefree she is. I have never questioned one of her recipes she is truly amazing

[@aprilnelson3771]

Good morning paula, this is a great recipe, it's been my daughter's favorite since she was a child

[@aimeeneil5806]

My 17 year old son went to Tennessee with his grandparents and they ate at your restaurant twice while they were down there plus he brought me two boxes of Ooey Gooey butter cake as a gift, I’ll just tell you it was the best gift I’ve received in awhile 🥰

[@AdrienneStarr]

I just love you and the cake looks soo good!

[@bethbosheers8096]

Y’all, I have been making this gooey butter cake of Paula Deen, for over 25 years! We love it soooo much! It is a blessing and a sin, all at once!😂👍😎❤️🙏🏼

[@Shuggies]

At what temperature.. I never heard her say ... 🤔 😳

[@scarlettsnodgrass3868]

OMG this brings back memories my mom used to make a pineapple butter gooey cake and it was the best thing I ever ate

[@Gin0827]

I used to buy it from Wal- Mart, as my little treat as well. I just could not take the noise Theresa was making. Hoping this recipe is in one of her cookbooks. Cannot handle chaos. It would have been nice if Eddie could have edited out the suction sound of the baster.

[@ramake5795]

I'm glad to see your comment I was wondering how pineapple would be in it!

[@nancyheath2891]

I bet this would be really good with coconut added along with the pecans.

[@tammylynn0205]

I truly missed watching your show on TV ... I love ALL your recipes. If you make it, I know it has to be amazing and I don't ever shy away from making it myself for the people I love!

[@moonbeaming]

It looks so delicious! 😭

[@amberheath5589]

This is similar to the recipe I use for lemon bars. I use lemon cake mix instead of yellow for the crust/bottom , and add lemon extract to the custard part. It’s delicious!

[@bvillalobos4908]

I am so grateful to have discovered your KZbin channel today. I love you!!

[@chaqillenikita748]

Me too! I’d never heard of Paula before, and now I’m a fan. She’s a true individual, and someone who makes you feel good just watching her do her thing.
