RECIPE BACKSTORY
Gooey Butter Cake is a wonderful St. Louis treat and having grown up in the St. Louis area, I never knew it was local to the area. It wasn’t until I moved away and went to the grocery store only to find that I couldn’t buy a gooey butter cake, that I started making it for myself. It is a really easy recipe which is good for me and the kids can help too
