yes yes yes! But can I say my favorite part of the whole cake is the fact that it’s apparently a breakfast tradition?!

  Hahaha! No, but Mr. How Sweet was blasting some Conway Twitty or something like that.

    Don’t knock the Twitty! “Hello Darlin’..” is THE sexiest song ever!~

    If Mr. How Sweet reads this, I’m pretty sure he is going to want to leave me for you.

Yum! I haven’t met a gooey butter cake I didn’t like! I made the double chocolate version last week.

There’s a pumpkin gooey butter cake that I’m dying to try!

I haven’t tried regular gooey butter cake, but I have tried Paula Deen’s version of double chocolate gooey butter cake. Unbelievable. You must try it.

  All this talk of gooey butter cake with chocolate is tempting me to try it tomorrow!

Apparently this is a huge thing in St. Louis. With as many friends that I have from there (and the fact that I’m originally from Missouri!), I’m a little peeved that no one has ever made it for me!!!

I LOVE gooey butter cake! I make the pumpkin version every Thanksgiving (I never was a pumpkin pie fan, although I love everything else with pumpkin in it!). I’ve also enjoyed the chocolate-peanut butter version.

Nicely done :)
