Gooey Butter Cake Recipe
When it comes to gooey desserts, perhaps the champion is the aptly named gooey butter cake, though, surprisingly, it is little known outside our region. I've had to ship out hundreds of these cakes all over the US for my family & friends, you'd think they could just learn to bake!
There's hardly a bakery in St. Louis or the surrounding region that doesn't offer a version of this tasty treat.

Fred Batter Finger Spatula
Uh, oh. Have you been caught sticking your finger into that
irresistable cake batter again? Next time, don’t gross everyone
out - use your BatterFinger instead! It’s a handy silicone spatula
that stirs and scrapes with ease, and makes frosting a snap.
It’s perfect for when you just have to try out the brownie mix.
Go ahead, lick your finger! Individual peggable clear boxes.
Have you ever had a gooey butter cake?
Yes I have! And my person was very angry...something about powdered sugar all over my face...I was pretty bad at hiding the evidence...
you had me at GOOEY!
Actually, using yellow cake is cheating. The original/correct gooey butter doesn't use yellow cake mix (and comes out much better tasting!)
Its one of my favorites, but then, I am from St Louis originally. Thanks for the recipe. I will try it soon.
I have never heard of these cakes before, but they sound wonderful. Just have to be careful not to eat too much of it. Don't want to look like Paula Dean! Angel Blessed and link added to My Squid Angel Wings lens.
It sounds to me like your Gooey Butter Cake is a slice of heaven....cream cheese and butter has to do the job!

I love gooey butter cake. I am featuring this on my new lens "chocolate gooey butter cookies" 5* and blessed by a Squid Angel!
My mom grew up in St. Louis so every time we went to visit grandma she'd pick up a gooey butter cake from the bakery at the bottom of the hill where she lived (Cool Valley). I was indoctrinated early. :) 5*
