Gooey Butter Cake
"This popular St. Louis cake has been a regional favorite since the 1930's. It is characteristically crispy around the edges and gooey in the center. Most recipes begin with a yellow cake mix, but this yummy version is made completely from scratch. Serve it as a breakfast/brunch coffee cake or a dessert...."
