Original recipe from the early 1900's. Created as an accident in a ST. Louis, MO bakery, Gooey Buttercake rapidly became a favorite among the locals.
When getting ready to move away from the area, my grandmother asked the baker for his recipe.
Lucky for my family, that was a more innocent time, when you weren't expected to pay hundreds of dollars for a beloved recipe, and we've kept it secret in my family ever since.
I pre-slice them and wrap each piece individually, then freeze before shipping. I charge $2 a slice, and there are 16 slices in a cake. If one were to buy a whole cake, I'd drop the price to $20 for the whole thing. (plus shipping of course).

It's positively decadent. I have to make two at a time when I make these because of how fast they are eaten. *chuckle*
But they travel beautifully and freeze amazingly well, so these are actually capable of being sold and shipped! *grin*
