Want to impress out of town guests with St. Louis' most famous original dessert? Treat them to a gooey butter cake made by Park Avenue Coffee in Lafayette Square. Not only did they win Food Network's "Food Feuds" for best gooey butter cake, but they have over 76 different flavors to choose from!
You truly aren't a St. Louisan until you've tried Gooey Butter Cake, which for all of you out of towners, is a dense yellow cake-like base (the crust) filled with a mixture of powered sugar, butter and cream cheese. There is nothing like it.
If you haven't tried it before, I'd recommend getting the original, otherwise I would choose a medley of 3 or 4 to try because choosing just one flavor is impossible!!! For a recent dinner party I got their chocolate chip cookie dough flavor (I just couldn't pass it up!). It was amazing!!! And for Jessie's wedding she and Joe gave out different flavors as wedding favors: Pumpkin, Original, and Triple Chocolate. People were stealing them off the table!
