Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

Well, this is just another example of why I have to put pictures on our computer immediately... I have a tendency to accidentally delete when still on the camera! I made this cake about 2 weeks ago and didn't want to blog about it until I had the pictures on the computer... well, I've since lost them! So - no picture. Sorry about that, however I didn't get any good pictures so I guess not all is lost.

A coworker brought this recipe in 2 years ago and I've been wanting to make it ever since. Yes, it took me two years to make - pathetic, I know. To be fair though, my husband doesn't like pumpkin..

Anyway, I digress.... Here is a recipe for Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. As I mentioned, an old coworker brought the recipe in a few years ago so I don't know where it came from...

Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake
Recipe Source: Sandy M.
CRUST:
Yellow cake mix
1 stick melted butter
1 egg

Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture evenly into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan.

FILLING:
1 package cream cheese
1 15-oz can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 stick melted butter
1 lb box powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Mix in the eggs, vanilla, and butter. Then add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over crust.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Do not overbake as the center should be gooey.

Serve with whipped topping sprinkled with cinnamon.

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
