I used to be launched to the surprise that’s Gooey Butter Cake by my Aunt Lissa. Aunt Lissa and Aunt Robin are in all probability the 2 greatest bakers in my household and whereas Robin’s chocolate chip cookies are superior, Lissa brings the yum with the gooey butter cake.
Gooey Butter Cake originated in St. Louis, Missouri. A neighborhood baker bought all types of blended up when including the butter and flour in a cake recipe and out got here this new dessert, or so the legend goes. However it happened, it’s a staple dessert in that space that has migrated over time into the deep south. It’s so standard even Paula Deen has her personal model utilizing boxed cake combine and a whole pound of powdered sugar. Yikes!
While we clearly aren’t going to make use of Paula’s substances, I did handle to ketofy this magnificence from St. Louis with extra pleasant parts, and hopefully it makes my Aunt Lissa proud.
