Winner of a 2011 flour contest. Found on Just a Pinch website. Haven't tried it yet, but it does look like a little bit of heaven served on a plate (from the photo posted). Thanks Melissa Sperka for allowing this to be in our recipe collection.

Caramel, Chocolate & Almond Gooey Butter Cake image

Wow, what a cake! We fell in love with this recipe at first bite. The Crew and I prepared this cake once using caramel cake mix and once using a butter cake mix. Happily, it turned out wonderfully both ways. A funny thing happened while we were preparing to take this cake's picture... we got the plate all fixed for the photo,...
