Growing up, my Grandma loved baking and cooking for all of us. There were several dishes that we all just knew she was going to make for family get togethers. One of the things she made (and we all LOVED) was Gooey Butter Cake. It’s very simple to make and is extremely yummy (but also VERY sweet!)
This recipe is easy enough for my kid’s to help with and we go to try out our new Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer. My kids always get excited when they know I’m making Gooey Butter Cake & love helping me bake it!
