This sweet and gooey cake is too much to handle! Perfectly sweet and freaking delicious I can eat it in just one sitting. This is a pretty easy cake to make and requires only six simple ingredients that are already on hand. My daughter is obsessed with this dense, flat cake. She can eat the whole thing by herself! This cake is insanely good she always fights us for the last piece!
Whenever I have guests, they always request this gooey butter cake. And asked me every time if they can take home at least a piece each! They love this cake so much I have to make two or three of this.
