Our family has moved around A LOT. We have moved 5 times (each time to a different state!) in the last 9 years, and we have had 4 babies along the way! The first time we moved, it was from Mathews, Virginia to St. Louis, Missouri. One thing that I quickly discovered after moving to St. Louis was Gooey Butter Cake. You can find this amazing St. Louis creation all over the place, and it is easy to see why. We have since moved back to the St. Louis area, and I have fallen in love with this delicious treat all over again! Check out my Recipe for Gooey Butter Cake below!
