The Saint Louis-original dessert Gooey Butter cake has a curious origin story. It's made with—you guessed it—butter! The unique cake uses more butter than most cake recipes, which creates a gooey, dense cake with a consistency that is more like a brownie. They are sold as entire cakes or as individual squares in many bakeries throughout Saint Louis. Next time you visit the Missouri City, make sure you try its original sweet treat!
