CNN Names McArthur's Bakery Cafe's Gooey Butter Cake One of the Richest Original Desserts

    ST. LOUIS, MO, September 25, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A local bakery has been busy turning heads and making national headlines with one of their mouth-watering desserts.

McArthur's Bakery Cafe's delicious gooey butter cake was recently named by CNN as one of the richest original desserts in the nation.

The cake, which is native to St. Louis, is one of the most requested desserts of all time at the bakery. McArthur's bakes original gooey butter cakes and several variations of the dessert, including chocolate chip, brownie, and cherry gooey butter cakes, to sell in their four locations and in local grocery and specialty shops.

The dessert is so loved that McArthur's has also had quite a few requests for gooey butter wedding cakes at a number of local weddings.

"The gooey butter cake has been a customer favorite here for at least half a century," said Scott Rinaberger, owner of McArthur's Bakery Cafe. "We are so proud to provide this St. Louis-original dessert and be recognized by CNN as having one of the richest original desserts in the country!"

Gooey butter cake emerged in the 1930s when a local baker added the wrong proportions of ingredients in his traditional cake batter. The result was a gooey, delicious mess that has now become a long-standing St. Louis tradition.

McArthur's Bakery Cafe has been serving the St. Louis area since 1956. Only the finest ingredients are used in their made-from-scratch recipes. They offer one-of-a-kind artisan cakes for any occasion, Danish pastries, cookies, cupcakes, pies, fresh breads, and unique lunch items.
