Neiman Marcus Cake (aka~ ooey gooey butter cake)

I don't even know how many years I have made this or where I actually got the recipe but it's been a long time!  If you like buttermilk or chess pie you will love this recipe!  The bottom layer has a cake like texture then the top layer is like a chess pie!  Great combo!

I have a friend whose name is Nedra and this is her favorite thing I make!  Nedra loves food and she is one of the most fit people I know!  One time I went to church with her I believe on a Wednesday night several years ago.  When she called she said we would stop at Whole Foods to eat dinner.  She talked all the way there about getting blackened fish, black beans, rice and.....then she would say I have this feeling they are going to be out... She was so worried they wouldn't have what she wanted... Guess what they were out of that when we got there.  She was devastated!!!!!  That is how much she loves to eat!  She eats healthy alot but also eats whatever she wants but her secret is she still does her calisthenics every morning!
