beSTL Features: Chicago Gooey Butter Cake
We've been having cravings for St. Louis gooey butter cake. It could be from Schnucks, from Park Avenue Coffee, from Soulard, or from a neighborhood bakery, as long as it's doused in powdered sugar, filled to the brim with butter and melting in our mouths.
Because of that, we've decided to pursue gooey butter cake here in the Windy City. Every instance of something resembling, or claiming to be, gooey butter cake, we will root out, sample, and review for your enjoyment. We might even have some anecdotes about the history of the unofficial breakfast dessert of the City of St. Louis.
First up, we'll review gooey butter cake at Sedgwick's...a brand new addition to a classic St. Louisan-in-Chicago hang-out.
