Gooey Butter Cake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling YIELD: 16 servings.
A friend gave me a quick version of this gooey butter cake recipe using a cake mix, but I prefer baking from scratch, so I came up with my own. My family can't get enough! The middle will sink a little; this is normal. This dessert is delicious served warm or cold. —Cheri Foster, Vail, Arizona
