Strawberries and Cream Gooey Butter Cakes
When I was newly married I fell in LOVE with the Food Network. I watched it all the time! I remember when Paula Deen first started, she was like my new hero! She has some of the best recipes. One of my favorites is for her Gooey Butter Cakes! I think I love it so much because you can adapt the recipe to almost any flavor! I have made the Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cakes and I don’t think that they lasted very long in my house! You can find the base Gooey Butter Cake Recipe on the Food Network Website, or just from a web search, but these Strawberries & Cream Gooey Butter Cakes are simply perfection!
Being a Florida girl, I love strawberries. It is Strawberry season in Central Florida, and I am finding Strawberries everywhere. These strawberries and cream gooey butter cakes are one of my favorite Gooey Butter Cakes that I adapted from Paula’s Recipe! I hope you guys enjoy them as much as we do!

Have you thought of how to make this recipe GF? I wondered if you could make a yellow/white cake mix recipe and add some strawberry jello to it… would that equate to a strawberry cake mix that is in the recipe. I would love your thoughts on this one.
Jennifer, You are way ahead of me in the thought process! 🙂 I guess I have too much going on to think about it, but now you have me intrigued. I will have to play with the recipe and see what I can do.
I will let you know what I find out! 🙂
These are awesome and everyone loved them. I have discovered that if you make them the day before and refrigerate them overnight they are even better! Thanks for the recipe:)
I added fresh strawberries OMG so good
