Think blondie meets lemon bars. This sweet treat is buttery and super lemony, with a dense and chewy cake layer on the bottom and a creamy, gooey layer on top. I think the edges are the best part since they’re caramelized and super chewy.
Originally from St Louis, Missouri, gooey butter cake exists in a few different ways—there’s the traditional yeasted version and the more common cake mix and cream cheese version. This recipe is in the style of the cake mix and cream cheese version, but uses a homemade cake base instead of a box mix.
How To Store the Cake
You don’t necessarily need to refrigerate this gooey butter cake. You can store it at room temperature for up to 2 days. However, the fridge will extend its life up to 5 days.
Most people eat this cake at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge a little before serving to warm up on the counter. It can also be eaten chilled, though it’s less gooey when cold.
