What is your favorite recipe from where you grew up?

I'm from St. Louis, Missouri (USA) and my favorite local recipe/tradition is Gooey Butter Cake. The best way to describe it is about halfway between a regular cake and a cheesecake, and when I make it for friends in other parts of the US most have never had it. Many ask me to "bring that weird cake thing again" when planning a party.

This recipe cheats a bit and uses box cake mix but I always make it this way! Also, not mentioned in this recipe but it's common to dust the top with powdered sugar after the cake has cooled.
