Star Created with Sketch. 5/5 - 93 Ratings PRINT Prep Time 15-20 minutes Cook Time 50-60 minutes Serving Yield 12-18 servings Inspired by Paula Deen's beloved recipe and with origins in St. Louis, this gooey butter cake lives up to its name. The center is like a lava; a mass of gooey pumpkin spice filling made with cream cheese, eggs, and a whole stick of butter. That's all nestled into a sweet and tender almond flour crust that keeps the oozing at bay until you slice the final product of your baking efforts into mouthwatering squares of pure dessert heaven. By: All Day I Dream About Food Ingredients For the cake: 2 cups almond flour 1/2 cup Swerve Granular (or other granulated eryrhritol) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 1 Pete and Gerry’s Organic Egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For the filling: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 2/3 cup Swerve Confectioners (or other powdered erythritol) 1/4 cup Swerve Brown (or other brown sugar replacement) 1 cup pumpkin puree 2 Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Nutritional Information Serv.

Directions To make the cake: Step 1 Preheat oven to 325F and lightly grease a 9" x 13" glass or ceramic baking dish (metal is not recommended). Step 2 In a large bowl, combine almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract, and stir well to combine. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and press into the bottom and up the sides. To make the filling: Step 1 In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Beat in powdered and brown sweeteners until well combined, then beat in pumpkin, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until mixture is uniform and smooth. Step 2 Pour filling into prepared pan, over the crust. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until sides are set about 2 inches from the edges of the pan, while the center is still jiggly. Step 3 Remove cake from oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares. Top with lightly sweetened whipped cream if desired.

So the very top of the crust is actually burnt and the filling is not gooey at all but a bit dry. Thank goodness I just happened to check it when I did. Maybe 30 minutes would have been the better option for this recipe. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Kitty Wahlberg December 25, 2020 This cake is wonderful, with a great texture and a tasty crust! Totally addictive, and I will make it again! I would add that you only have to press the crust up the walls of the pan for about an inch. I pressed it up closer to the top and then found that the filling didn't come up that far. Though I will say that I filled it up with whipped cream as a topping, so maybe its a good option if you're going to use whipped cream :) Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply Marco December 26, 2020 Hey Kitty, That sounds wonderful! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. KTeal November 29, 2020 To make original ooey gooey cake, what would I need to substitute for the pumpkin puree? Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 30, 2020 That's a great question. We haven't tried making this recipe with anything other than pumpkin in the filling but, in referring to Paula Deen's recipe (https://www.pauladeen.com/recipe/original-gooey-butter-cake/), which has inspired this one, it seems as though you could omit the pumpkin and pumkin pie spice fromo the filling all-together and double the butter. Hope this helps and can't wait to hear how it turns out! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Debby Corbett November 27, 2020 Everyone loved this recipe I made for Thanksgiving. Even people that don’t like pumpkin pie or sweets. Thanks for the recipe. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 30, 2020 Wow! That sounds like quite the win. We are so glad this recipe was such a hit! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Pamela November 26, 2020 I'm allergic to nuts...has anyone made this with a different type flour? Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 30, 2020 Hi Pamela, we haven't tried making this with any other type of flour however, if you have a favorite type of flour you would like to try using, you are more than welcome to give it a try. We'd just recommend looking up the proper conversion online to ensure you end up with the right consistency for the cake. Also note that this will change the nutritional information for the recipe as well. Excited to hear if you give this a try! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Marisa Edwards November 25, 2020 When it asks for Pumpkin Purée, can I use the can Pumpkin filling Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 30, 2020 Hi Marisa, as long as it isn't the sweetened pumpkin pie filling, then yes, that should be fine. What you're looking for is just plain old canned pumpkin. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Maueritta Marth November 06, 2020 This was sooooo good! I love the original OOey Gooey cake but went Keto two years ago. I had to try this because I love pumpkin and this seemed right!

Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Deb December 06, 2019 This is delicious. I was wondering if I could freeze the leftovers. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] December 10, 2019 You absolutely can, Deb! Your best bet is to slice and leftovers, then wrap the individual portions tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe bag. You can let each slice come back up to room temperature or pop in the microwave for a warm, delicious dessert any time. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Margie December 02, 2019 This was absolutely delicious. I made it for a keto-friendly Thanksgiving dessert and it was so easy, and turned out perfectly. I didn’t have a glass pan so I did use metal, with a piece of parchment paper underneath, and there didn’t seem to be any problems.

Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. brianna carrier November 27, 2019 Can you make this in advance like a day or two? Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 Definitely, Brianna. This cake is actually best when it has the chance to cool down, so making it ahead is a great idea. We recommend storing it in the fridge, then letting it come to room temperature or popping in the oven to warm up before serving. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Martha November 25, 2019 Can I use regular sugars instead of the sweeteners? Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 Absolutely, Martha! Swerve sweeteners can be used in a 1:1 ratio with regular sugar, so simply follow the recipe as written; no need to change the quantities. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Marsha November 22, 2019 Do you think this recipe would work with one of the granulated (or confectioner's or brown) Stevia products, rather than erithrytol? And, do you think the quantities would need to change? Erithrytol can be a little tough on the digestive system for some. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 It's definitely worth giving those substitutions a try, Marsha. We always consult this conversion chart when switching from one type of sweetener to another: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/natural-low-carb-sweeteners-guide-conversion-chart/. It looks like Stevia tends to be sweeter than Swerve, so you may need to change the quantities accordingly. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Sharon Dearmond November 21, 2019 Sounds real good. Going to try it for Thanksgiving. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 We hope you and your family all enjoy it, Sharon! Happy Thanksgiving!

Pam F. November 18, 2019 Do you think I can freeze this cake? There are only two of us and we can't possibly eat the entire cake. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 Absolutely, Pam! Your best bet is to slice and leftovers, then wrap the individual portions tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe bag.

Marnie November 18, 2019 Wondering if this freezes well? 15 servings is a lot for us two and it is mostly me who eats the keto sweets. ...hard to make half a recipe when it only calls for one egg in the cake. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 Great question, Marie! You can definitely freeze this cake. We recommend slicing it, then wrapping the individual portions tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and placing in a freezer safe bag.

Misty November 15, 2019 I have made this dessert many times. It is great for family get togethers! The only difference is I make a streusel topping. Soo yummy! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 27, 2019 What a fantastic idea, Misty. We just might have to give that streusel topping a try the next time we whip up this cake.
