  10. I grew up in Missouri and I've lived in Hawaii for the last 35yrs, but I've never heard of this until I just went back for a visit, and I'm HOOKED. I'm not sure why, but my topping is more runny, maybe the humidity? and I'm using a hand mixer, maybe that? It's in the oven now, we'll see…..

  12. sorry but just CAN'T get behind this one. There is NO CREAM CHEESE in this dessert. That is why it is called Gooey BUTTER cake. I grew up on this in St. louis and the recipe I use is ALL butter and I really don't like the way the top came out. I am sure yours tastes good but it would not remind me of what I ate throughout my childhood. I will say I am VERY glad you didn't use a cake mix OR yeast. there are definitely 2 schools of thought as to what Gooey Butter cake is in St. louis. Just another debate we like to have over area dishes. We do take our food seriously. 😂

  34. The recap or summary at the end was an absolute fail. It was oversimplified and no detail given. Sure, it needs to be short and sweet but it's a summary of the ingredients. Please do not do this again America's Test Kitchen. You're such a reliable recipe source for me. Do not lose your credibility with me.

  36. I am from St. Louis and 1st u are making me terribly homesick. I haven't had any Gooey Butter cake in so long 🥲😋. The recipe was perfect and u did a wonderful job making it. There is only one problem. I want some 😋 Thank u for taking me home and for the recipe. Top Shelf

  38. Ummm… How do I AVOID making this? I'm sorry, but all the fake smiles and corny guitar music in the world can't keep us from becoming unhealthy if we keep eating too much of this kind of thing… It's all fun and games until we need to have our chests sawed open so the doctor can rip our hearts out and put them on plates and try to fix them while our blood cycles through a machine and hopefully we don't die from the anesthesia itself… And, no, I don't want another piece of cake, because I plan on dying from cigarettes lol

  42. I’ll probably get flak for this but genuinely, Why do they have background actors? As well as this lady, she’s not really helping at all…she’s just…there. It’s all very off setting.
