Gooey Butter Cake

The name says it all. It is gooey and buttery. I don't know much about this recipe except that it is a regional favorite from Lisa's St. Louis days. It is also, hands down, my boys' favorite dessert, and most years they request it for their respective birthdays. I may, in fact, have to make it tonight as we have a little celebrating to do at our house. It's very sweet--I like a small piece with vanilla ice cream. And coffee. Definitely coffee.
