gooey butter cake
Missouri dessert specialty
Gooey butter cake is a dense, sweet dessert originating in St.
Louis, consisting of a cake base topped with a rich, gooey layer made from butter, cream cheese, eggs, and powdered sugar.
The top develops a slightly crusty surface while the center remains soft and almost custard-like.
She brought gooey butter cake to the potluck.
