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

This is just amazing. I made it twice. The first one was too done, so I tried again. I just can't make it look like yours. The top was all lumpy and ugly. Any guess as to what I'm doing wrong. It was incredibly delicious, but ugly.
Hi Marie,
I wish I could be more help but i'm not sure what would be making your top lumpy. Is your cream cheese softened? sorry I don't have any suggestions. :( At least it tasted good! lol. That's the most important. I've done them in cupcake tins too and they really should be a sin. ha ha.
Made and it was delicious!!!!
