Directions
Authentic St Louis Gooey Butter Cake, There are many great gooey butter cake recipes out there but this is different from the cake mix variety because it has a yeast dough bottom I grew up eating these cakes from a little bakery in Clayton, Mo and this recipe is as close to those as I’ve ever come across , I am sorry, but this is not it The Ooey Gooey Cake is a simple recipe with a delicious result There is not yeast involved, you are making a simple cake very difficult Sorry A St Louis Original, My Husband and his family are from St Louis and I have the original recipe and this one is just like it The bakery that made it closed in 1989 and this is the same recipe that the St Louis cookbook printed The ones made with cake are completely different
