He's Sharing His Wife's Recipe For Gooey Confetti Butter Cake

Do you know someone who has a birthday coming up soon? If so, you should consider making them a fun and colorful butter cake.

According to the Missouri Historical Society, a baker in St. Louis accidentally made the first butter cake during the 1930s.

And since then, many people have created their own variations of it.

TikToker Luke (@cookinginthemidwest) is sharing his wife’s recipe for a gooey confetti butter cake.

The bottom layer of the cake is buttery and fluffy, while the top layer of cream cheese is what gives the dessert its goo-like texture.

“This is a gooey butter cake made with a box of confetti cake mix, and it’s one of my all-time favorite desserts,” introduced Luke.

“So when my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday this weekend, this was my only request,” he continued.

Ingredients:

1 box of confetti cake mix
4 eggs
1 stick of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
8 ounces of cream cheese
2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar

Directions:

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, add the boxed cake mix, two eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to mix until everything is well incorporated. Next, spray a nine-by-thirteen baking dish with cooking spray and line it with a sheet of parchment paper.

Once you have created a dough-like consistency, pour the mixture into the baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Then, go back to the mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar and cream cheese.

Ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature and combine together until smooth. Crack in two eggs and continue mixing.

Pour the second mixture over the cake mixture and spread that out evenly as well. Top everything with rainbow sprinkles and bake it in the oven for about 35 minutes or until the cake looks golden and firm.

It should still be slightly jiggly but be mostly set. Remove the butter cake by lifting the parchment paper out of the pan. Let it cool for two hours before cutting and serving.

Serve each cake slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
