Gooey butter cake is a beloved dessert that hails from St. Louis, Missouri, and has become a staple in many Midwestern households, including mine. It’s a decadent treat with a rich, buttery crust and a sweet, gooey filling that melts in your mouth. I first encountered this delightful cake at a family gathering, and it was love at first bite. Whether you’re looking to impress guests at a dinner party or simply want to indulge in a comforting dessert after a long day, gooey butter cake is the perfect choice.
Gooey butter cake is a versatile dessert that pairs well with a variety of sides. For a touch of freshness, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you’re hosting a brunch, consider pairing it with fresh berries or a fruit salad to balance the richness of the cake. A cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of cold milk also makes for a delightful accompaniment.
