This fall we ventured to Alaska for a vacation with my husband's side of the family. It was AMAZING....absolutely breath-taking! If you've never been, I highly recommend that you add it to your bucket list. It was our first time packing long johns and winter coats for a vacation instead of the usual shorts and bathing suits; however it is one of our favorite vacations so far. We went kayaking, on a helicopter ride, walked on top of a glacier, rode a boat to fetch live crabs, and I even won the black jack tournament on our cruise ship. What great memories were made!
On the cruise ship, we met a nice couple from St. Louis. Their room was right next to ours and {unsurprisingly} we started talking about food one day. :) After asking if we'd ever had St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake she promised to email it after our cruise. I had never had it but just hearing about it made my mouth begin to drool.
So here you have it, the St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake. It is LOADED with sugar and definitely holds true to its name. It's gooey and rich and tasted like a little piece of heaven. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with me, Leslie!
St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake
Crust:
1 Yellow Cake Mix
1 Egg
1 Stick Melted Butter
Mix above ingredients together and press into a 13" x 9" pan, press around edges to make a rim.
Filling:
1 8 oz. Package of Cream Cheese
1 (1 lb.) box Powdered Sugar (4 cups)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Mix above ingredients until smooth. Pour over cake mix.
Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool. Cut into small squares.
Note: Cake will look Gooey even when done so, watch the time and crust for indication that it is done. I only ended up baking mine for about 20 minutes when it started browning.
