Rozanek's Bakery St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake

I found this copycat recipe on the web and thought I'd share it.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Yields: 1 9-inch square cake

Ingredients

• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 3  tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1⁄3 cup butter or 1⁄3 cup margarine
• 1 1⁄4 cups granulated sugar
• 3⁄4 cup butter or 3⁄4 cup margarine
• 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
• 1  egg
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 2⁄3 cup evaporated milk

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 3 tablespoons sugar.
2. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Pat into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan.
3. For filling, in the mixing bowl, beat the 1 1/4 cups sugar and 3/4 cup butter or margarine until combined.
4. Beat in the corn syrup and egg until just combined.
5. Add the 1 cup flour and evaporated milk alternately to the mixing bowl, beating until just combined (batter will appear slightly curdled). Pour into crust-lined baking pan.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35 minutes or until cake is nearly firm when you shake it. Let cool in pan on wire rack.
7. Remove to serving plate. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
