I associate 2 words with this woman: "Butter" and "y'all"

One of the things I love about your show is that everything from the mixer to the stuff you are making everything is easy to understand and you never use fancy equipment and things I can't even say no less eat.... I love hearing you laughing in the kitchen again I am glad you decided to start making KZfaq cooking shows I think I'm going to bring your peach cobbler to my grandmother birthday party today...

I am glad I found these episodes. I have no family, and I love feeling as if I have been invited in to her kitchen and her life. Paula is the best!

After eating this at your restaurant in Branson, my 13 yr old son wanted to make it for the dessert contest at our church Fall festival Day last October and he won 1st place!

Absolutley love this format Ms Paula! Really feels like you just invite us all into your kitchen! Please keep these coming!

Mrs Paula, I'm Alabama girl living in Oregon. I'm stuck in this Vegan Noghtmare here. Thank Heavens we now have a Cracker Barrel and a Chick-fa-la (I've only waited 26 years). I cant begin to tell you how much I absolutely love watching you during this stressful time. Every recipe I've made of yours my family just loves. Our youngest son is 18 and is graduating this year. Unfortunately they have decided not to have a graduation ceremony like normal. So we will have to make our own memories. Adam doesnt like frosting on cakes, so I think I will make him your gooy butter cake to hit the spot. Thanks for all you do! Tonya Case, Portland, Oregon (originally from North Alabama).

One of the things I love most about watching you is that you do not waste food. You scrape the rest of the bowl and show us this. It seems like a southern thing but I’m sure it is not. It’s more of a respect for food and the expense. Either way, having both grandmothers struggle with going hungry sometimes, I respect and love the hell out of it.

I had this at your seafood restaurant in Tybee Island and I am telling you it is the best sweet thing I literally have ever put in my mouth and I don't care what's transpired in your life Food Network letting you go was the worst thing that ever did you and Rachael Ray were the best things that ever happened to Food Network I don't think I've watched it since you left I love you thanks for all the magical recipes you share❤ we love our little trips to Savannah almost yearly and we never miss stopping at Paula Deen's❤

My late mother-in-law made this and passed on the recipe called “Chess Cake”. It was so good! I’ll have to try with pecans now! Thank you, Paula.

“Teammates” is a true testament to the wonderful person you are.

My mother and I have watch you cook before Jamie got married. My mother passed April 18th of this year. I miss her very much and watching you again on KZfaq brings a smile to my face and a thought of the times my mom and I shared your recipes. Thank you.

I don’t even understand why anyone would ever give you a thumbs down. That looks absolutely delicious and I’m going to try your recipe. I usually make the chess cake version and I cook it in a tin cooking pan. This one looks better so the next time my family wants a chess cake I’m going to switch it up with your version. Be blessed Paula!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Could you imagine if Paula Deen was your grandma 🥰🥰🥰

I've made this for lots of places that I had to bring dessert. Everywhere I've ever taken it people go crazy over it. So good

Gosh, you are a true blessing during these hunker-down times. I am really gonna miss you when this is over.🥰🥰🥰

I found this recipe years ago and make it anytime we have a dinner guest I’m trying to impress. I love the original version but my new favorite variation is to add lemon oil and make it a lemon gooey cake. I’m originally from Valdosta, but living in Alaska now. I use so many of your amazing recipes to introduce non-southerners to the glory of southern cooking.

I own and run a Village Tea Room in the English Countyside and only just discovered the wonders of this fabulous Lady's cooking. There's a lot of ideas I'll be popping on our menu :) Thank you so much xx

it sounds like you have a bird retreat in your home

I am a Southerner in the public health field, and I love not only seeing your great recipes, but also your heartfelt way of staying physically distant but socially close!

Morning Paula and the team. Have a Beautiful day.

Happy Saturday everyone...Paula looks so pretty in yellow . I Love her laugh🤣❤. After watching this video...I need to make this now... yummy Paula. I'm headed to store 🏃‍♂️ .👍❤ Love you Paula and friends ❤

I make one with a red velvet cake mix for the crust and the filling just like Paula did this one. I also tried swirling the filling with the crust in the baking dish with a butter knife and it was great also

We add the pecans to the crust. It allows the pecans to toast making the cake taste even more amazing 😋

I love how she scrapes all the ingredients out the bowl. She is precise and articulate at it too. I love her kitchen and have made these myself!!! Paula Dean my girl!!!!

I miss her being on TV, she makes everything look so easy and good! Love her Y’all

This is my favorite cake of yours, i always used to pick up your signature oeey goeey butter cake in walmart. Love you ms paula.

Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow cake mix, 1 egg, 1 stick melted butter. Mix and press into bottom of baking dish. For custard, gradually mix together until smooth: 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tsp. vanilla, 2 eggs, 2 cups Powdered sugar, 1 stick melted butter. Bake at 350 F for 40-50 min. Love this recipe!

"It's not anyone breakin' wind..."😂😂😂

Yep, Sounds like Paula has a pair a keats. She is always great when she's winging it .

Pumpkin gooey every year for thanksgiving and thereafter til I run out of pumpkin😉👍

I really enjoy Miss Paula's videos! I'm so glad she's doing this quarantined cooking series. I love a true southern accent but I love a true southern cook even more. She says y'all and pecan just like I was raised to. She cooks some of the best down home food. YUM!

I work at a country club and Gooey Butter Cake is on our dessert menu always. I love when they make a batch and cut away the edges because those crusty pieces are my favorite. Thanks, Paula. I love watching you.

This is my all time favorite desert recipe!!!! I've been making it for years!

I made this recipe for the first time years ago when I saw you make it on your show. My favorite is the peanut butter and chocolate. Oh my heavens! We have had the regular, pumpkin, and I made one for my brother that was strawberry cake on the bottom with the regular filling on top, but now that you told us about the bananas. GAME CHANGER!!! That would be so good!!! Thank you for all you do!!!

One of my husband's favorites. Love watching this version of your cooking. Great job thank you.

Paula, I just love you! You are so real, the way you just stop in the middle of the video to wave and talk to your grands, that’s what life is all about, and I agree, it is HARD to stay 6 ft apart from your own grands! Thanks for explaining about overcooking gooey butter cake, that you “want the jiggle” , I had to learn that the hard way, so for first timers that’s a big help. I’ve made it many many times, and many many ways, but the original yellow cake, no flavoring, is still my favorite.. God bless you Paula!! Keep the videos coming...

Loved seeing you make this and would love to see some variations too!!❤️❤️

Look so yummy! Thank you, Paula, for making our mornings so special! ❤

This has been my go to dessert for about five years! I absolutely love it and so does my entire family and friend group. I always have the ingredients on hand Bc when I’m in a mood I need the gooey butter cake to get me through 🤣 I’m so glad I found it on Pinterest all those years ago, and I’m glad you finally did a video! Thanks Paula!

My Mother recently passed away and this was a family favorite and she would take to her job at Chrysler Motor Corporation in Indiana when they would have potluck at her job, and she would never have a bite left because everyone would eat it all up.

Paula, I’m Glad That You’re Still Making Your Classics. Keep Up The Good Work Girl ❣️😂👌🏽💣

Gooey butter cake is one of my family’s most requested desserts. We especially love the strawberry one.

Watching this in June. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I’m so glad you’re on KZfaq! I’ve learned so much about cooking from you,my mother & grandmother’s techniques from the southern cooking styles . I treasure the education I can pass down through my family!

I love these quarantine cooking classes, it's so good to see you in everyday life, in your home with your family, it's a nice personal touch🥰

Looks delicious! Gotta say that noise Theresa was making was annoying lol. Love Paula !!

Mrs. Paula, I want to say your show makes me Happy. I love watching you with that CUTE laugh of yours. Thank you for sharing and please continue once the world is restored. Much love to you and your family😘

Made this last night after watching Ms. Paula’s Video. I Substituted the Cake mix for a scratch cake mix recipe I have (2 2/3 cup AP Flour, 1 1/2 sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp salt). To this I followed her recipe but increased eggs to 2 for crust. Came out great! Took longer in oven but my pan was a 9x9 square (45 min @ 350’). Love Paula so much! Look forward to her quarantine cooking segments every morning ❤️

I made this cake when you first posted it and my daughter loves it.. And I have to make it for her every year for Christmas and Thanksgiving. But I'm getting too old anymore so she's got to get the recipe. The pumpkin is her absolute favorite!! Thank you Paula for sharing. Love you bunches..

Getting the notification that you've posted a new video just makes my day!! Love you Paula Deen❤️

My mother put nuts in everything! I would ask her to leave some without nuts for me!!!! My earliest memories are of us going to a department store with a candy and nut counter. She was either buying mixed nuts or at Christmas time ribbon candy. Many moons ago!

Paula, I've been making this for 26 years. My mother in law gave me a Lady and Son's cookbook when I married my husband. This has been my go to easy thing that everyone loves. So wonderful to see you make it. I'll make mine in glass next time. Thanks for the sweet memories this always brings me! I always made the lemon type. Man o man. They were always loved by everybody.

It’s nice to see a chef who actually gets everything out of the ingredient bowl.

Yesss the cake 🥰 I first made this when I was 10 years old bc I saw you make it on TV 🤍

Make this in various combinations over the years, since first getting the recipe from you! Always a hit 👍👍

This was so special, made me feel like I was in my Granny's kitchen. Her laugh and love is infectious.

Haven't had this, but oddly & very similar ingredients/different form, have been making a super easy cookie recipe I found in a cookbook prob. 15 yrs ago. Can be made w/ any variety + any mix-in's, but SO easy & surpisingly good: remembering 1, 1, 1, 1, & done. :) My son's fav version (prob 'cuz unique not found in stores/cookies usually AND that they reminded him (in his words anyway) of... strawberry Quik.. w/ a kick (lol) was... 1 stick butter + 1 brick (full fat/philly) cream cheese both softened slightly, creamed in bowl... Add in 1 lg/xl EGG & combine.. (can add vanilla or almond extract, or none) then... 1 box fav moist STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX. Stir in couple hand fulls of white chocolate (or milk choc?) discs if you can find them. Chips, otherwise. Put bowl in fridge for 10 min or so just to stiffen. Super sticky/hard to handle otherwise. Using cookie scoop, drop onto paper plate or shallow bowl w/ some powdered sugar & roll to cover dough ball. Place on cookie sheet & bake in 375 degree F pre-heated oven for 10-11 min, depending.. Let cool slightly on pan or rack, then store. NOM NOM SOOOO good. Have made pineapple cake w/ cherry chips + a few pineapple tidbits... Chocolate fudge cake + hersheys chips or milk choc discs (omg, if u can find 'em the disc shape makes such a difference. Like getting litte pools of chocolate, YUM) or.. heath chips... Rolled in the powdered sugar before baking.. they come out looking like chocolate cookies w/ this white crackle on top! Carrot cake w/ white choc chips + walnuts chopped finely.. Banana cake + extra banana + just couple choc chips + walnuts.. Any combo, so good. Similar ingred to above gooey cake, just different amts & form. All, so easy & so great tho. Everyone will ask for recipe... I mean, esp if you show up w/ some bright pink cookies (or cake) that tastes THAT good. ENJOY.. Stay safe & well.

Being diabetic, how do you adjust your insulin per carb intake for this recipe? Is the size bar you ate a standard serving size? Looks so good.

This format is WAY better than those glossy, over produced cooking shows on TV. This feels like we're cooking with a friend.

My good friend's mother made these but she never used Gooey or Cake in the title. She took them a next step or two by using lemon juice or almond extract X 2 in lieu of vanilla with slivered almonds on top. She called them Lemon Bars or Almond Bars. Jane often served these at teas or bridal showers. She was a true Southern Belle without Gooey in her vocabulary. She also pushed the dough base up the side of the pan about 1/2" so that the cream cheese mixture stayed within the bar base. She always worked at recipes until she got them perfect in her eyes. A wonderful cook, a wonderful woman, Jane Lutkus.

We recently moved to Ozark Missouri and we’ve been to your restaurant 2 times and every time I fall more in love with everything on the menu! I have 17 yo twins and my one twin absolutely LOVES you! She actually cried when we too her to the restaurant. She asked for your cookbook for Christmas and my oldest got your purple cookware. You are such a wonderful blessing to so many!! Sending you love!!! Jamy

🤣 Paula's laugh is so contagious. I'm loving these videos and trying out your delicious recipes.

I just love you and the cake looks soo good!

I make the pumpkin version of this every Thanksgiving. My family is very thankful for your recipes!

This woman is a treasure. She’s the epitome of a southern woman. I love her. Reminds me of my mom and aunts and grandmothers. Thank you mam for being you.

I want to make this for Memorial Day weekend! Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️

Hey Paula, how are you doing this morning? Thank you for these videos. We love you.💕💝💕

I truly missed watching your show on TV ... I love ALL your recipes. If you make it, I know it has to be amazing and I don't ever shy away from making it myself for the people I love!

This is one of the desserts my Aunt made. She passed too soon but I still make this dessert for her younger son. He says that it brings back memories of his mom!!!

I love her she is the QUEEN!!!. . NEVER TURNED MY BACK ON HER!!!. . LOVE TO HEAR HER OLD STORIES ESPECIALLY THE BAG LADY AND THE LADY AND SONS!!🥰🥰

Honestly, I need to know what the hell Theresa is basting over there. That lady basted the hell out of whatever it is. What is it!!!?? LOL

Love when “Broom Hilda” is on! Please please please let her do one episode with you. Maybe she can do one of her favorite recipes of yours. You are lucky to have her on your team. You guys stay safe and healthy. Thank you for uplifting our days at home.

Oh my goodness! this looks so good. I will definitely be adding this one to my dessert-making. Thank you for all that you give us. I appreciate you so much!

Good morning paula, this is a great recipe, it's been my daughter's favorite since she was a child

"I just love nuts" girl same ;D

I appreciate that, unlike most folks cooking on TV or the internet, you actually scrape your bowls! I hate the waste. At home we get every bit out! :)

I am so happy to see you cooking in person. I like the venue you have going right now as it feels more like learning to cook with Mom. Friendly, humorous, free to Improvise, Stories, visitors, and conversations.

I could add pecans to everything to just makes it better.yummy

Good to see you cooking, I’m so enjoying this series of videos‼️. I was in Branson Mo last weekend. Went into the gift shop of the restaurant and I bought the salt box, butter bell and the square iron skillet. Great quality and the employees were great‼️. Friendly and helpful. I’ll go back and eat in the restaurant when I can take my girlfriend with me. Thanks for all you do and be safe ❤️

Good morning Miss Paula - I was thinking that a new flavor for the Butter Gooey Cake could be made with Key Lime and Pistachio nuts. I will be trying this over the Christmas weekend and let you know the results. THANK YOU for being there for everyone sharing your love of cooking and seeking to make things brighter in this difficult year (personally I think 2020 really sucks). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, you are a blessing. Mitchell

Thank you so much for these quarantine cooking videos! They are such a joy to watch. It's great seeing your personality shine in this media and the recipes are superb! This one was such a breeze to make and I love it!

Hi Paula, I’m from St Louis Missouri the home of gooey butter cake👏love you and your vids💜

This is the first recipe I've ever made from Paula back when she showed these on the FN my fav and I've made the pumpkin, chocolate variations. Bought to barbecues. People ate them up like nobody's business. ❤️🙂

Can I just say I love Paula Deen. Her pumpkin pie recipe is the best and if you watch her videos now she tells you the ingredients needed right when your about to ask yourself how much do you need? I love how professional yet carefree she is. I have never questioned one of her recipes she is truly amazing

Paula....thank you for being so personable....I LOVE your unscripted commentary. Your grand boys were precious and anytime we viewers (friends) get to see Michael (or hear him in the background) it’s such a treat. Ya’ll are sooo cute! I’ve made almost all your suggested recipes thru this Covid season...and bought your dessert baking cookbook you’ve featured. Got Michael’s banana cake sitting on the counter!❤️

It looks so delicious! 😭

My coworker is making your french toast casserole this morning, here in San Diego. I'm going to, too! :-)

I’ve always been a fan but now I feel like I’m a friend! Never would have gotten to know you on this level if it wasn’t for the quarantine. Sad but true. Thanks for making these “windows of food” into your life. I love them. We get more of you this way then the occasional tv show appearance and you don’t have to pack to stay away from home in a hotel! I bought 2 of your cookbooks and can’t wait to start cooking. I’m going to make this for my wife because her favorite cake is Butter Cake!

ALL of these videos have gotten me through this Covid and I can’t thank Paula enough.. 💜

OMG, Paula you make me smile n Laugh. I am going try this one ASAP.

Paula the older you get, the more beautiful you get, thank you soooo much for Quarantine Cooking!!! this looks so easy and delicious!!!

I'm so happy to see you in the kitchen! You are truly in your element, and you obviously enjoy what you do! Thank you for spreading your positivity in these times!

That looks SO good! I can't wait to try it! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who forgets😍 things, If a Pro like you does it then a small channel like me HA!!🍓🍓🍓

I made this a couple days ago! Hmmm yummy! Love you Paula!

Y’all, I have been making this gooey butter cake of Paula Deen, for over 25 years! We love it soooo much! It is a blessing and a sin, all at once!😂👍😎❤️🙏🏼

This cake is delish! I have made it several times and loved it every time!

Paula, I watch you so much I dreamed my mom and I visited you. ❤

I'd try it your way then next time I'd be adding some chocolate to it.

I just adore you Ms Paula. I feel like I'm watching my fave aunt cooking. Ty for doing this💕

I just love her, and her laugh is my favorite! ❤

OMG this brings back memories my mom used to make a pineapple butter gooey cake and it was the best thing I ever ate
