Gooey Butter Cake

St. Louisans love their gooey butter cakes! Legend has it that a local German baker erroneously created this cake back in the 1930s when he reversed the proportions of flour and butter. There are many versions of this recipe, but this one of my mother's is my favorite. It's very simple since it begins with a cake mix. I made one this weekend to take to church, so I decided to share the recipe with you in case you want to try it. Be imaginative with the cake mix you use. Spice, red velvet and chocolate all yield delicious results, too!
