We discovered Ooey Gooey Cakes this past summer, when we visited St. Louis, and it was definitely love at first sight and bite! This St. Louis specialty (which has a consistency more like a brownie or lemon square than a cake) is so incredibly good, and, I can quite happily say, easy to make at home! I grew up in Massachusetts and lived most of the past 20 years in the Washington, DC/Virginia area, and I had never heard of an Ooey Gooey Cake until my trip to St. Louis, and, as it turned out, neither has anyone around me! These are truly irresistible, and are so much fun to share with others, especially when you are serving it to someone completely new to this wonderful dessert! This is a perfect dessert to both serve at home, and to bring along to pot lucks and bake sales. I can’t think of any other dessert that my daughter and I have a harder time resisting then this one! It doesn’t last long in our home! I am excited to share this with others who are new to Ooey Gooey Cakes. I hope you’ll enjoy making this yourself someday too! Enjoy!
Red Velvet Ooey Gooey Cake Recipe:

3 ¾ cups confectioners’ sugar (one 1 lb. box)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees.
2. Grease and flour (or line with wax paper) a 13 x 9 inch pan.
3. Mix together the cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Next press this cake mixture into your pan.
4. In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs and confectioners’ sugar. Next pour this over your layer of cake, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
5. Place this in your oven, and bake it for 40 minutes.
