For Valentines Day this year Mike and I went to Savannah, Ga to go to my girl Paula's restaurant. We had the most amaaaazing food and Mike absolutely LOVED her gooey butter cake. That chick does not play around. He has been craving that ooey gooey buttery heaven and requested I make it ASAP. If you are dieting this cake is the devil. It has a WHOLE box of confectioners sugar, not one but TWO sticks of butter. Her restaurant served it cold, so I roll their way. We obviously have some right when it comes out of the oven as well, because I mean..c'mon.....fat kids like cake. :) recipe as follows
