Gooey Butter Cake

One night my mom came home from working RAVING about a dessert one of the other doctors brought in. It's called Gooey Butter Cake and her friend got the recipe from Paula Deen. She told me that it was absolutely delicious and that she had a few pieces throughout the day. For my mom to have more than one piece of a dessert in a day is saying a lot! Plus, I know that Paula Deen can do no wrong in the kitchen. So after she told me about the dessert I decided I would have to give it a shot. I decided it could be the next treat that I would bring into Physical Therapy with me.
