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.
