This is the closest thing I have found to the gooey butter cake my grandmother made. It has basic ingredients and is really simple to make. If you're worried about calories or fat grams this ones probably not for you. But if you're not, this is oh-so-gooey.

GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
The signature dessert of St. Louis is just what its name suggests-a wonderfully gooey butter cake that doesn't quite set when baked.

Steps:
- For the cake, place the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 1 minute, or in the microwave on low power for 45 seconds, and heat until the milk is 100° F. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk, and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
- Place the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer, and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour alternately with the yeast and milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. When all the flour has been added, blend on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Lightly rub butter into the bottom of two 8" square pans. Divide the dough in half, and press one half into the bottom of each pan. Cover each pan loosely with plastic wrap, and place in a warm place to rise until nearly doubled, about 2 hours.
- When the dough has nearly finished rising, make the filling. Place the butter, sugar, salt, and corn syrup in a large mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the vanilla and 1 egg. Beat on medium speed until combined, then add the second egg. Add the milk and half the flour, beating until combined. Add the rest of the flour, and beat until smooth. Set aside.
- Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the filling over the rising dough, dividing it evenly between the 2 pans, and spread it to the edges. Place the pans in the oven.
- Bake the cakes until the tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let the cakes cool for 20 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, slice, and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients. Make sure to use high-quality butter, flour, and sugar. The butter should be at room temperature so that it will cream together with the sugar properly. The flour should be sifted to remove any lumps. And the sugar should be granulated, not powdered.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take several minutes, but it's important to be patient. The mixture should be light yellow in color and very fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to keep the cake from curdling.
- Stir in the sifted flour and baking powder. Do not overmix the batter, or the cake will be tough.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
Conclusion:
Grandma's Gooey Butter Cake is a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is a moist, tender cake with a sweet and buttery flavor. The cake is easy to make and can be customized with different frosting flavors. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
