If Paula Deen is the queen of butter, then Jenni Taffe and Anne Berry Martinez are her princesses waiting to take the throne. Their ooey gooey butter cakes are little hunks of yummy goodness; bet you thought I was going to say burning love! For those who are wondering what the hell is a butter cake…Butter Cakes originated in St. Louis, Missouri. It was originally made as a breakfast dish and not as a dessert. As described by the ladies, “Gooey Butter Cake is what we like to refer to as gooey, flaky, cake perfection! A layer of rich moist cake topped with an ooey, gooey center; not to be out done by a perfect crispy top.”
My love affair with butter cakes started years ago, when one of my friends served it at her open house. I seriously think I ate all the pieces on the serving plate, and had the nerve to ask if she had anymore (yes, that’s how I roll). So when I stumbled upon the Gooey Butter Girls cakes, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. These 4 ½ inch individual cakes are simply delicious! The ladies offer a few variations of the cake; original, red velvet, cinnamon chip, or chocolate chip (original and red velvet are my favorites). You can get them locally as the ladies appear at several farmers markets around Houston or you can order cakes directly from them since they ship nationwide, including Canada.
