Gooey Butter Cake
Gooey Butter Cake <p> Common lore is that this St. Louis specialty came about as a bakery accident. The first gooey butter cakes were yeast cakes with a thick buttery glaze, but now most home cooks use a yellow cake mix and cream cheese topping. <a href="http://web1.how2heroes.com/videos/profiles/about-jeff-gavornik">Jeff Gavornik</a> grew up loving the box-mix kind, but developed his own recipe, with a moist yellow cake and rich, but not-too-sweet, gooey buttery topping. It&#39;ll slice up into 24 portions, so it&#39;s a great dessert for any get-together, cookout, party, or appreciative office staff.</p>

    This cake is addictive. You have one tiny square... then another... then another...
