Time for our last day in the 12 days of Christmas baking series (whew!) Pretty sure I’ve gained five pounds this last few weeks, so I think I just might be ready for it to be over. 😉
Â
This Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake recipe though is one I’ve always wanted to try, and it was easy to pack up to give as gifts.  I’ve made the original gooey butter cake for years and while I think that one might still be my favorite, this was pretty yummy. . . especially for chocolate lovers! Here’s the recipe so you can see what you think. . .
